Description
In the dead of night, madness lies...
Emma can't sleep.
CHECK THE WINDOWS
It's been like this since her big 4-0 started getting closer.
LOCK THE DOORS
Her mother stopped sleeping just before her 40th birthday too. She went mad and did the unthinkable because of it.
LOOK IN ON THE CHILDREN
Is that what's happening to Emma?
WHY CAN'T SHE SLEEP?
