# She Sleeps Beside Me
I rarely sleep alone.
Not that I have much choice in the matter.
Every night begins the same way. At eleven, I lock the apartment door. At eleven fifteen, I check it again. Then I close the curtains, turn off the hallway light, and place a glass of water on the table beside my bed.
At midnight, I swallow the pills.
Two are supposed to be enough. Most nights, I take three.
