His mind played host to some very disturbing thoughts before sleep finally claimed him.

But sleep had already claimed him and he ignored it.

Things seem right, she thought driftingly as sleep claimed her.

He barely had pulled the covers up when sleep claimed him.

It was his last thought before sleep claimed him.

The sound of his voice was the last thing she heard before sleep claimed her.

Just before sleep claimed her, she found herself thinking of the strange man in the park.

Something would break soon, he thought, just before sleep claimed him.

He does not ponder either long, for sleep claims him.

With this thought in mind, it was a long time until sleep claimed Nate.
