"A Pillow Of Winds" by Pink Floyd.
Nyamo awoke in the middle of the night to the howling wind and driving rain of a powerful tropical storm. She got up, stumbled to the sliding glass doors of her apartment balcony, and stared out at the darkness.
After a time, Nyamo went back to bed. She curled up, lying on her side, facing the wall, and tried to shut out the storm. She wasn't exactly frightened by the storm, but she still found herself quietly whimpering.
When you live alone and sleep alone, Nyamo thought, and you're trying to sleep through a storm, an expensive pillow doesn't help.
