While we Sleep

Sleep- A condition of body and mind that typically recurs for several hours every night, in which the nervous system is relatively inactive, the eyes closed, the postural muscles relaxed, and consciousness practically suspended. “So…we are vulnerable while we sleep?” A quiet hum traveled through the air, the hum belonging to a man with an almost effortless smile. “Some are vulnerable while they’re awake…wouldn’t it be easier if they weren’t?” He asked dodging that question while slightly answering it. “Death is sleep. So I am simply putting the weak to a peaceful rest.” The first man commented his blood coated sword dripping onto the bright green grass. The last man scoffed so loud anyone would think his throat was in a horrible pain. “Do to those as you would want done to you.” He sighed as he stood up and pushed his sword into the browns man’s skin. “Teach me how to bring death upon those who have brought death upon my mind.” The brown man said his eyes plain and emotionless. “…” Oh what a pity. A grown man bitching Over a few small outcomes. I’ve seen worse I’ve BEEN through worse. But…I’m too much of a coward to say that to his face. For I know…he will bring death upon me, putting me into a moment of rest. Peace it may not be all the time. But I do know that while we sleep others are restless.
