It was essential that he keep his eyes open. The enemy could
try and breach the wall any second, a covert assault in the middle of the night
would be tactically smart after all.
Every moment that passed, however, was like another bag of
cement placed on his eyelids. No matter how many times he told himself he had
to remain alert, no matter how many pinches he gave himself, it became harder
and harder to stay awake.
Eventually, his eyes closed.
They opened shortly thereafter, to find no enemy.
Thus he felt no guilt every future time he slept…
