Night Sun #7: Holding his breath

It was a little too much like death

He breathed in a big breath

to make sure that his lungs were still working.

His eyes closed at maximum inhale and as he breathes out

he opened his eyes to gaze into the stars.

A part of him really feared his body would not withstand the night,

and that tomorrow would be an unreal reality.

But his skin instantly began thanking him for the darkness.

His pores seemed to sigh with relief.

Layers of his skin began curling upon themselves as his skin cells

confused by the constant daylight had forgotten how to shed.

The body needs consistent rest in darkness to rejuvenate and regenerate

but Nate Dielli could only feel the coolness of the moon as impending death

that would engulf him.
