A White Room with a Small Bed and White Curtains

She sleeps in a white room with a small bed and white curtains.  The bedding is white and without quilting or pattern and pulled tightly at all sides.  The windows are clearstory, and without view, save an occasional bird that might darkly flash by.  The walls remain bare.  A single white end table is positioned near the bed.  A white alarm clock and a white porcelain lamp sit on the table.  The room is white—so white you must rub your eyes to find detail.

She sleeps alone in a white room.  And if you did not know better, you might suspect that no one has been in the room before.
