Tao slowly slipped into a restless sleep, slumped over, curled up at the head of his bed with his back against the wall. With his sleep no longer being deep and medicated, any small sound from the hall caused him to stir. Dreams crept into his mind, normal at first, mundane activities, memories really that would be sullied by Hagin at any given moment. No longer trapped in a state of slumber Tao would wake frequently, often in tears, even if only for a second, just long enough to break Hagin's hold. This was an average night.<br/><br/>By the sixth time Tao had woken from his sleep he sat himself up. He glanced about the dim room before moving to leave his bed shedding his sweater in the process. His heart was pounding wildly in his chest, sweat caused his oversize shirt to cling to his torso. Making his way to his small bathroom he turned on the light, not bothering to close the door.<br/><br/>It would be hours before Tao would be found laying dead on the floor of his small bathroom, a faint smile on his black lips. He had managed to shred open his wrists using a the underside edge of the sink. Finally he had found his release...<br/><br/>End.
