Fitted Twin Sheet

The summer was hot, so of course I'd been sleeping only with a sheet as a blanket, as I enjoy being covered by something even when it is very very hot as the summer's  been.  

One night, in a state of half-sleep, I slid into a fitted twin sheet, and the psychosis set in all night.  Although I was very comfortable, I awoke every hour or so, restless from guilt and anxiety of a project I had not finished.  

Every time I emerged to semi-consciousness though, I was soothed by the gentle embrace of the elastic of the sheet curled around me, and the space of air that remained the perfect temperature between my body and the loose dome of the sheet.  

With every waking, I deliriously smiled to myself, so pleased with this arrangement.  I have repeated the experience since, and find the repeated action like a return to the psychosis itself.  

If you have your own fitted twin sheet, you too can try this.  Now that the equinox is only a day away, its technically no longer summer, and I for one have already pulled my heavy blanket back to bed.
