Summary
That one night is probably the longest of Yellow’s life. The couch is far too small and constrictive, leaving him at the very edge and hanging on for dear life. Sleeping has never come easily to him, but tonight it’s especially hard. Yellow can’t even toss and turn with the little space he has, leaving him trapped, frozen in place, staring and staring at the cream colored wall, observing every crack and peeled fleck of paint, every picture and portrait on the wall that stares back at him. There’s no sound but the tick of the clock on Duck’s nightstand and the quiet snoring coming from Red.
Tick. Yellow’s eyes are heavy and it’s starting to hurt to keep them open. Tick. But he can’t close them. Tick. Moving is harder too. Tick. He can’t even turn his head anymore. Tick. The pictures are still staring at him, even as he lets his eyes wander. Tick. They won’t stop.
Or, Red, Yellow, and Duck stop at a hotel for the night on a road trip. Then again, and again, and again. But only Yellow can ever seem to remember.
