The missing pieces
Every time I wake up a new piece is missing. Sometimes it's a fingernail or a chunk of hair. Sometimes it's a finger or an ear. I have no idea how long I sleep. I rarely dream. I have no idea how many nights I've slept. How long I've been here. I try to keep track, but consciousness fades in and out. When I sleep I don't want to awaken to the nightmare. When I'm awake I don't want to sleep for fear of what will be left of me when I wake. The pain is so constant that i sometimes forget that it's there. Just like I've forgotten my name, or anything outside this room.
