SUBJECT: Sleep is For Other People

Well, I don't know how the rest of you are faring but last night's attempt at finally sleeping was completely useless. Did those pills work for you, Hunter? Was it some consolation the three of you bunking up? I thought returning to some semblance of 'normalcy' with Understanding in the next bed would provide some measure of at least waking stability and was sorely mistaken. Fortunately, heavy eye mask = not blowing up the dormitory.

Consequently. None of you had any dreams about being were in the Lighthouse last night, were you?

Incidentally, it looks like another tea-and-writing night, in case you were looking for someplace to be contemplative, bored and/or insomniac.
