These both really suck but I had nothing else that would come out of this head of mine. Two parts. Totally unrelated. Whatever. SOo, story number one...
What did you wake up?
It's the middle of the night.. 2 am... 3 am... Whatever. So why?
The rest of the house is asleep. Your parents are long passed out, tired from the long day. Your siblings have been sleeping since nine. So why now? Why you? What happened?
Did something go bump in the night? Did a car drive down the road, shining its headlights in your window? Did you have a nightmare?
Do you remember?
Maybe it doesn't matter, maybe nothing does. But you're up and it's dark, and
what do you do now?
Do you roll over and go back to sleep? Do you have that sort of superpower, where you can just close your eyes and go into sleep mode automatically?
Do you grab your phone and browse? Scroll on whatever social media you have... Text him, or her, and get your mind off it all... Watch Netflix?
Or do you toss and turn for hours on end?
Do you ever fall asleep? Or are you able to tell the precise moment the sun rises?
You're up and alone and it's dark. There is no chance of falling back asleep. You would do anything to roll over and find someone there to hold you but that isn't going to happen. You would do anything to be able to get up and do something, or close your eyes and not be able to hear anything, or to just talk to someone.
But all you can do is wait. Wait for morning. Wait for the world to wake up so you can too.
Okay... And story number two...
The world never sleeps. Someone is always awake somewhere, that's obvious. But I'm talking about your side of the world, your very town.
Lights are on, whether they are streetlights or town lights or porch lights.
Families are sleeping, but some workers are awake.
Children are dreaming, but some teenagers are out there living. Someone is starting a new habit. Someone is quitting an old one. Somebody is falling in love, and someone else is getting their heart broke.
Writers are editing and creating new plots. Readers are finishing that last 100 pages.
Some mothers are rocking their newborns. Others are pacing the hall with their sick toddler.
Insomniacs are cleaning or cooking or writing a song...
Some girl is waking up her love, convincing him to take her for a drive. Some boy is up, studying for finals.
Someone is laughing.
Someone is crying.
Someone is wrapped in a blanket watching movies.
But they are not asleep.
No, the town doesn't ever sleep.

WRITERS BLOCK
AcakThis is where I will put the completely random, has nothing to do with anything stories that I create when I have writers block. I'll put out a stick (or two or three) and write based off what the stick says. Please don't judge me... :)
