Night run

The water was flat, motionless like a grey parking lot. It was hard to see where the bank ended. Phoeki wasn't sure why she had even ventured out on her own. She could have been lying in bed staring at her ceiling, imagining thats ever expanding universe. But now as she looked up, no ceiling separated her from the dark dome. Somehow all the romance was lost. Irritation and a dull fear is all she could feel.
Every part of her body just wanted the comfort of her bed. It was a stupid stupid idea she told herself. And besides there was school tomorrow. She's going to wake up sleepy and its going to be even harder to concentrate in class.Right, thats it, decided, i am going back.

She turned and ran towards the house, faster than she ever had.

A cicada jumped into the black glistening liquid surface. The night was quiet.
