He awakened at 07:30 in the

morning

and took a few seconds to stare at the

ceiling and decide why

this day too began without a

so called morning wood

Fuck the meaning of life

and whether or not we’re alone

in this vast world

He wanted to know why his dick

wouldn’t stand up in the morning like

it used to

Perhaps because it had nothing to reach

for

There was nothing to life

anymore

No wife

No girlfriend

…not that they ever existed in the first

place

but at least there was the hope

that one day maybe…

Now

in the late twenties

he felt like a fish outside the water

in a mud that was slowly hardening

around him

This was life

Working night shifts in a cold warehouse

and coming home in the

morning to sleep a few hours

Waking up and listening to another

video detailing the importance of

sleep

You should sleep eight hours a night

every night

Every single night

No exception!

Else you will suffer from severe

chemical imbalances in the brain and

body and will end up

horribly depressed and weak, anemic,

with heart problems that will

eventually lead to a

premature death

But he needed the job

He wasn’t qualified for much

else

But hey,

cops and nurses and firefighters

worked night shifts

Well,

maybe

But their work carried so much

more meaning

He sighed as he whipped the thought

away

and stood and got a

cigarette

put it in the corner of his mouth

and lit it

He came before the window

“Look,” she said. “Maybe it’s time to just

leave everything behind

and come join me.”

She grinned at him from inside the

dirty glass of the window

“I don’t know,” he said. “I can still feel it.

The spark. You never know

when it’s gonna burst

into a flame and that

flame

might become–”

“Bullshit!” she said. “You humans are so

pathetic when it comes

to this. Listen to yourself!

Sparks and hope

and sunshine, rainbows. Stop deluding

yourself. You’re twenty-eight already and you

can’t even get it up

thanks to your chronic depression. Look

at your lame self. You’re so

lame you

came to kinda love it even.”
