There Should Be Life Here

As it always seemed to happen, the sun came up too early the next morning, waking everyone up as it streamed through the windows of the apartment. 

"Someone close the fucking curtains," groaned Si Dong as he pulled up his sleeping bag and rolled over. 

"The curtains are closed, you idiot," replied Ye Yao Zu, keeping his eyes closed as his arm came up to block out the intruding light. The two of them were sleeping on the floor of the living room while Fan Teng Fei took the couch. Bai Long Qiang and Cheng Bo Jing stole the two rooms first and refused to share.

"Then why the hell is it so bright?" demanded Si Dong, his nose buried into the base of the couch as if the object would be enough to block the sun. 

"Cause it's the sun?" replied Ye Yao Zu, his voice laced with sarcasm. He let out a long sigh and sat up, running his hands through his black hair.
