The brief wakefulness she’d enjoyed now dwindled, Mirka made her way down the short hallway that had almost as much door as wall to her room. Once she closed the door her room was plunged into near-blackness. She felt her way to her window and raised the blind slightly in order to get enough light to move around. Now able to see what she was doing, Mirka got a new pull-up from her dresser, took off her pajama bottoms and old pull-up, cleaned herself, and put on the new one as quickly as she could without making noise. With her pajamas back on she turned to the window and closed the blind. Now in nearly pitch blackness she felt her way along her bed and slipped into it.
