Nighttime

When I woke up a little while ago, I could hear the comforting nighttime noises. Throughout the last week when I've had nothing better to do I've lain in bed listening to the nighttime noises. Crickets, insects, horses snorting, owls hooting.this time I had woken up because I felt appalled by pressure and pain in my shoulder. I had forgotten that this was normal. then I shifted, listened,  and was comforted by the other normal things I could hear.  When I turned on the light, I heard a horse breathe out in a half snort.  Somebody else was awake and had seen the light go on.
