Fatigue settles like the a cold chill from being caught in the rain without a coat.
You become sluggish, unsure if you'll ever be warm and dry again.
But an opportunity to rest is like finally getting dried off and settling someplace warm.
It may take a little time to get there, but the fatigue you feel now needn't last forever.
Rest will come, eventually. You must simply be read to seize hold of it once it appears.

It was noisy and cold, but at least one of those problems could be solved. Wrapping a blanket around you shoulders, you shiver in the dark for a moment.
Soon enough, though, the blanket fulfills its duty, and you start to feel warm again.
If it wasn't for the loud party next door, you might have been able to sleep. But the music was so loud that you could feel it in your bones, and the pounding of your head beat in time to the thumping bass.
Your neighbers always seemed to have a wild party on the weekend, and you were exhausted by the chaos it brought. You couldn't imagine what it would be like to actually be at the party, given how loud it was through the solid walls of your house.
Glancing at the clock, you gave a soft groan. Only a few more hours, and it should be over, you thought wistfully. Maybe you'd fall into an uneasy, exhausted slumber before then.
It was unlikely, but you could hope.
The one bright side of all this was that you didn't have to work tomorrow. Your neighber's parties were always worse on the nights where you had to go into work the next morning.
For now, you would simply suffer and how for sleep to claim you.

The cat leapt out the door to freedom, heedless of the calls for him to return. He darted arou d the corner, intent on placing as much distance between himself and his keepers as possible.
For he was a cat born to roam, to stalk beneath the trees and terrorize the birds who roosted therein.
But it was dark, and the place he found himself looked nothing like his old haunt.
Where was he? the cat wondered, sniffing the grate that led beneath the house. Nothing seemed familiar to him, and he didn't know where the tastiest birds slept.
He coyld hear one pf his keepers calling dor him, and reluctantly allowed himself to be caught and taken back inside.
He would try for another escape during the day, when more birds would be awake for him to hunt.
