Try to sleep. Feel tired. Exhausted. Mind racing. Knees sore. Legs twitchy. Stare at the ceiling. Don’t count sheep. Cannot see them. Think through should-have-been retorts. Laugh at the incredulous.

It was going to be an exciting new world for them. It all looked old, word down, and maybe even decrepit. However, it was now theirs. What a lovely word to use. Theirs. That pile of tires. Theirs. The rusted doors. Theirs. And, the future was bright. They […]
