The fluorescent lights in my room weren't switched off, but I recalled pushing the switch before I knocked out. My eyelids were

fighting back that brilliant shine and


so reluctant to open. I seriously remembered switching off those lights before I jumped on my bed!
Under the barrage of those photons, coupled with the
just-woke-up effect, grogginess poisoned my body and left me paralyzed while I kept replaying the scene of pushing that accursed switch.
Finally, I estimated it to be 3 minutes later, I decided I could drive the light rays to a retreat. I decided wrong as the relentless shine broke through my ocular and mental barricade. I shut my eyes immediately with the brief onset of slight burning in them. It was unimaginable to fathom the strength, the intensity, of the twin fluorescents in my room. I felt powerless.
Then, I committed to memory and left my room eyes closed. It's amazing when you become so familiar with a place that you can see it
at through the back of your
palm eyelids.
The shine subsided for a moment, and it came back when I took a few more steps into the living room. I judged from the redness of what I could see. And what I saw was the back of my eyelids. Then, like in a First-Person Shooter game, a minimap popped up at the top right of my 'screen'. I just chose it to be there subconsciously.
I reached the checkpoint, my study, where I knew my eyes were free from the temporary nemesis. I grabbed the window grille and cast my sight upon the sky.
It was dark and kind of purplish. A few stars appeared as my vision adjusted accordingly.
The sky seemed to be created by nature to entertain
my (sorry for being self-centred) our puny existence.
