It was nearly 4 in the morning. What the heck does he think he's doing?? Pavlov
rolled over in his bed restlessly. My roommate sure enjoys making my life a pain...
Music blared loudly from the downstairs living room. He doesn't even have anyone
over right now. There is just no reason for this!./ Maybe he would have some luck
asking him to quiet down. Pavlov pulled out his phone and sent him some stern
Snapchat messages in the dark. A few minutes later, the screen lit up revealing a
single ' 😜 ' emoji on a photo of Sam's paws. What the heck?? Now he's just being
downright rude. This kid doesn't know anything about life... someone ought to
teach him a lesson. He grumpily rolled himself out of bed and headed downstairs.

He blinked sleepily as his eyes adjusted. A third night in a row with no sleep...

Pavlov crept outside.
He slowly made his way
down the steps ... the
music pulsed loudly
throughout the house.
As he turned the corner,
the loud thudding made
his heart skip beats. It
shook the entire house.

As he turned the corner, the obnoxious pink kalon could be heard scuffling around
the room. What on earth is he doing..? Coming upon the mess he'd made of the kitchen,
Pavlov had decided he'd had enough of this crap. "HEY!! What are you doing to my
house?!" he snapped. "I just bought all these groceries! I don't have time to go shopping
again this week! Do you care to explain yourself?!"

Sam lowered his head in shame. "S-sorry, Pav... I just knew you've been having a hard
time getting a good night's rest. I wanted to surprise you by packing your lunch + making
some breakfast so you could get more sleep before work..." Pavlov looked at him in
shock. "What's... what's up with the music then? You know I can't sleep well at night!"

"I didn't realize it was so loud! It's hard for me to stay focused if I don't have tunes playing
in the background..." He sighed and put his face in his paws. "Ugh... you are a handful. I,
appreciate the gesture, but... now it's gonna take even longer for me to go back to bed."

Sam plopped himself on the couch with a controller and gestured Pavlov to do the same.
"Maybe a quick game will take your mind off of it? Always seems to help me," he grinned.
"I... I guess that does sound pretty good. But only one game, okay?" he chuckled and gave
his buddy a playful shove. After several rounds of Smash, Pavlov found himself curled up
on the couch, fast asleep. Sam laid a blanket over the fluffbutt and set his phone alarm to
go off next to him. Mission accomplished, he thought, as he cleaned up the mess around.

In the morning Pav woke
and looked all around
He couldn't find a spot
of the mess. Perhaps,
a roommate isn't such
a bad thing after all..

light hanging up above pavlov's bed...)

what he does when he can't sleep: [set in Magae - 625/700 words]

The wind whistling outside, a calming chorus of raindrops accompanying it. A warm cup of tea clutched in one paw, a sugar cube in the other. The sugar slid into the tea and let off a soft fizzing sound. Two of the most comforting things, yet he was still restless. Maybe it was the painful day that'd he'd experienced. Maybe it was just his shock. Maybe the having your tail mostly amputated medically wasn't something that most could get over quickly. He sighed, placing his tea on the plastic nightstand beside his hospital bed. He stared out the window- the raging storm was calming down... no, nevermind. But it had turned to snow, so that's better, he thought. He groaned with boredom. He wished that sleep was crashing over him like a wave- but it seems as if sleep had been locked away and disposed of just as his tail had. He glanced at his tail- so short! He still couldn't believe it. He hadn't even been in the snow for long, but the doctors said it was just because his mane was long and thick, keeping his head warm while the rest of his body suffered harshly from the cold. Frostbite had settled in and made its home, forcing his tail to be mostly amputated later on in the day. His lack of sleep made him want to cry. But he sucked in a shuddering breath and forced himself to calm down. The crushing wave of unconsciousness just wouldn't come to sweep away his pain and suffering. He got angry, then sad again. He knew that he was acting irrationally, but he couldn't help it. He pushed a button, requesting another blanket. He snuggled up in the thin throw blanket they had give him, shivers cascading across his body. The nurse rushed in minutes later with a pile of thick blankets. She dumped them on the foot of his bed and gave him an apologetic smile, then ran off without a word. He frowned, groaning with the effort as he lifted himself enough to snag the blanket and throw it onto himself. He felt a rush of heat and it comforted him for a moment, before he realized that he was still cold. He took a sip of his tea, which thankfully was still warm, and ended up finishing it off quite quickly. He licked his lips, the sweetness and bitterness combined into a nice, equal blend. He sighed with relief and looked around the room. The wind could be heard through the window, giant white flurries now blurring his view of the outside world. He heard the signs of the bustling city, honks and shouts of anger. He wanted to shut it all out. He wanted the pounding fear and pain in his head to cease. He looked around desperately, the pounding in his head alone threatening to knock him out of consciousness. He saw a childhood toy- a stuffed lamb, knitted by his mother. He groped for it and finally clutched it in one paw, and spoke to it sincerely.
"I enchant this stuffed lamb to send me to sleep whenever I hold it directly in my paws for longer than 10 seconds," he said hastily, adding the last part on after realizing that it would be a useful idea. He was almost horrified by his raspy, unnatural voice. He clutched it to his chest and rested his head on it, waiting for it to do what he told it to. He finally felt it. Blankness sweeping over him, almost violently, yet as soft as a feather falling to the ground. He smiled gently as his consciousness suddenly flew out of the window and into the snow, leaving him for the night.
