5:00 AM. The fog hangs thick over the empty truck stop. I've been up since 2:30, dog leash in hand, hood pulled low, trying to disappear into the shadows. But some people don't need permission to haunt your morning.
She's out there, smiling like something straight out of a horror movie. Cigarette in hand, eyes locked on me, cheesing like she just clocked me in her mental ledger. The whole scene feels surreal-like Elm Street meets small-town chaos. My heartbeat echoes the opening drums of Weird Fishes/Arpeggi, Radiohead's haunting melody vibrating in my chest.
I don't want to deal with the drama, the venting, the chaotic energy that always seems to orbit the wrong people at the wrong time. I just want to walk my dog, leave, and breathe somewhere safe. But life doesn't always hand you quiet mornings. Sometimes it serves you creepy smiles out of rolled-down windows, and you have to laugh just to keep from screaming.
This is survival. This is humor in horror. Hood up. Invisible mode activated. Radiohead blasting. Walking past ghosts in broad daylight.
Sometimes life throws Elm Street mornings at you when all you want is a cup of hot chocolate and silence. Sometimes you just have to document it, survive it, and laugh.
