Your main character can't go to sleep without this one thing…
Good Nights Sleep
I am watching the clock and realize that it is almost that time. That time that I dread, and you may ask why and I’ll tell you. I have this one thing to go to sleep, but it isn’t safe, and I have needed it as long as I can remember. Let me tell you before I head upstairs to go get this one thing.
When I was younger I had trouble falling asleep. My mother use to put me down for bed, and lock the door to keep me from wandering the house. It would be days without sleep. I know what you are thinking, that isn’t possible, but I promise you was.
After a few days of this my parents took me to a doctor who prescribed sleeping medications and practices to help me relax, but even that didn’t work. Finally after a month of not sleeping I found something that helped me finally relax enough to fall asleep, and ever since then I have needed it each night.
I’ll head up to the bedroom and show you what I need. Just let me get this camera and bring it upstairs so I can prove this to anyone who might not believe you. Let me get ready and I’ll be back.
Ok, now I think I’m ready to show you what I need. I keep what I need in the bedside table. I know this is going to freak people out, but it is the only thing that works for me. Turn around while I get it, and here it is a rope.
What does a rope have to do with falling asleep? You might ask what I do with this. I’ll put it around my neck and let me lay down. I’ll hook it on this little hook and push the button.
“Bill…Bill”, Mark nudged him and he was asleep. He literally had to be strangled in order to fall asleep.
