2/21/22 Uncomfortable

 Uncomfortable

Oh that tingly feeling, make it stop, make it stop! Like little tiny ants walking their little tiny feet all over my skin. I can’t make it stop. I scratch and itch and turn and twist, hoping the small breeze will make the feeling go away.

Persistent, that’s what it is, no matter what I seem to do, the tingly feeling continues to  crackle all over my body. If I hold still it’s there, if I stand still it’s there, nothing works. 

The only cure is time, but how do I wait when I can’t even think! This feeling is consuming my mind, I can’t concentrate, can’t focus. Tingling, that is all I know. This horrible feeling all over my body has made time slower. Every second of this misery feels like hours, I can’t take it! I want it gone!

Quickly thinking I run outside; I run and I run until I hear the sound of water. I dash to the lake and without hesitation, emerge myself into the cold water. Peace, finally. The tingling is gone and all I feel is the smooth water encapsulating me. 

As my sensations come back to me, I suddenly realize the iciness of the water. Quicker than I ran before, I dash back to my home, hoping to make it before I freeze and die in the cold open air.

I reach my home and run inside, quickly wrapping myself in a warm blanket. The tingling sensation is gone, finally. All I feel now is the cozy warmness of my blanket.

4/18/22 The Hypno-Toilet

  The Hypno-Toilet You stare at the toilet water as it spins round and round. All sense of time is gone as you are mesmerized by the swirl. It is not very fast or harsh, just a steady flow of circling water. The soft swishing noises are so calming and all you can do is stand and stare. A loud buzzing noise, tries desperately to alarm you of the damage being caused to the septic tank. Slowly the tank fills up higher and higher with the wasted toilet water. You cannot hear the alarm, you are too entranced by the water in the bowl.  As the water level rises in the underground tank, the alarm continues to blare. The little pump works as hard as it can, but without your help, it is helpless. The thought of leaving the bathroom hasn’t even crossed your mind. All that flows through your brain is the soft swirling water.  The toilet water consumes your thoughts, nothing else matters to you anymore, only the water. You aren’t even sure why it is happening, the swirling water is nice yes

12/25/22 Paper Floor

  Paper Floor Boxes, bags, and wrapping paper were scattered across the floor. It was hard to step on just the carpet without getting some form of paper on your foot. It seemed like the floor was completely covered and the mess would be impossible to clean.  The next day the mess stayed, no one cleaning it up. The day after that and the day after that, nothing was done about it. The carpet was no more, it was just trampled wrapping paper and squished bags. Years passed, they forgot what the carpet even looked like in the living room. They had grown so accustomed to the paper, it just felt right now. They didn’t miss the carpet and didn’t mind the mess, and so the wrapping paper stayed, on the floor, forever. The End 12/25/22

9/22/22 We the Dreamers

  We the Dreamers We the dreamers, we the inventors, we the artists, we who wish for something more than what we already have, we create. Sometimes our creations are logical and possible. But other times we delve into the impossible, the dreams we wish would come true.  Anything can come from nothing if you dream hard enough. Everything already came from nothing, first there was nothing, and then there was everything. We continue on to make everything, even things that don’t exist.  The physical creations and the theoretical dreams alike, leave us striving for greatness. It makes us want to be better than we are, more than we can be, even if it is just a dream. Our brains are powerful, wonderful, amazing devices that let us learn and explore and create. To create, be original, discover or come up with something new, that is what we do. We the dreamers make the world a more interesting place. The End 9/22/22
