I Sleep with Ghosts— Pt. 3 (preview)
“Sluggard!” came a cry, followed by a swift kick to the ribs.
I groaned, rolling less than gracefully to the floor with a thud.
“Rise! Greet the sun with tireless eyes! What’s a lad of your age doing in bed at this hour?”
My eyes rose from my prone state to meet the most peculiar sight. Tilted precariously on a thin cane of cedar swayed a weathered relic of a man, glaring down at me with utter contempt.

No I’ll definitely do at least one more, but I keep forgetting.
Maybe I can write that today. :)
I make picture/text post for the latest thing I wrote… stupidly dont save it anywhere, and then I realize I misspelled a word.
Shit.
I’ll re-do it tomorrow…

The Sensible Thing
Caution is for the elderly and
children who know no better, the
distance between their bed and
“dead” to them is just two letters.
Youth is too grand to be rational,
or judge each other’s deeds. The
only ones who should give a damn
are the parents on their knees.
So do the sensible thing— throw
sense into the wind. For the days
are numbered for all men, and
every saint has sinned.
