8/1/22 Headache


Headache

The pain, indescribable, pulsating through my head like an amplified heartbeat. So many things…I’ve tried so many things and it won’t go away. 

I know why it started by why won’t it stop? It has been hours now, and the pain, if anything, has gotten worse.

Water, not helpful. Pills, not helpful. Soft music and dim lighting, not helpful. There is nothing left to do but go to sleep and hope it is gone in the morning. 


The End

4/3/22 The Brown Out

  The Brown Out Sitting in her room late at night, her best friend and roommate sleeping lightly in the room down the hall, she sits, staring blankly at her computer screen. Her eyes grow ever heavier and she contemplates going to sleep but refuses. Some power of will works itself against her sleep schedule and convinces her to stay awake.  Rain falls, leaving a soft pitter patter on the roof, although she can’t hear it over her calming music. She doesn’t even know it is there. That is until she is drawn out of her trance of boredom by the dimming of her light. It does not go out completely, but darkens then immediately returns to its full brightness.  She turns to her light, “what the f-” she confusedly proclaims out loud. With her focus drawn away from the music she swears she hears a voice go through the house. The voice seemed femenine but robotic, nothing like her roommate.  A little freaked out by the circumstances she leaves her room and looks around t...

10/28/22 Thief of the Night

  Thief of the Night Princess Ardwina had everything. She lived in a giant castle, had all the ball gowns, dresses, and jewelry she could ever desire, and her family was always close by. She never needed to work as everything was done for her. Her life was basically perfect. Just not for her. Spoiled as she may be, she knew that everything had been handed to her all her life. She did nothing to earn her place, her riches. She wanted to make something of her life, like the commoners of the villages, she wanted to do something, get her own gold and riches, something she had earned. As a princess she was not allowed to work like the people of the village. Her place was in the castle, tending to the formalities of a princesses life. No matter how deep her desire to be normal like her people she never could. So she found another way, a way to make her own money, a way to obtain riches that weren’t simply handed to her on a silver platter. Thievery. During the day her royal dutie...

10/22/22 Go To Sleep

  Go to Sleep My eyes are burning. Why have I done this? Why do I deny myself of sleep so often? I know the morning comes early and the nights are short, and yet I still, time and time again, refuse to sleep, trying to hang on to every waking moment.  The moments I cling to I don’t even use wisely. I will sit and stare telling myself, “You need to go to sleep, you need to go to sleep,” and yet there I am, still awake, ignoring even my own common sense.  Regret always comes the next morning when I think to myself, “Why didn’t I just go to sleep?” The time I saved was not worth the tiredness that comes the next morning. My day could have been so much better if I had just gone to bed earlier the night before. Night after night it is the same. The cycle of staying up late and regretting it in the morning continues. My life is still good, but could be improved if I gave myself the luxury of a good night's rest. The End 10/22/22
