One Day More

I walk forward. One two three one two three. My feet hit the ground in a rhythmic pattern. I go into the store and then I come out. I hadn’t bought anything. I just wanted to go in.

I get into my car and start driving. I stop at the light and then move when it turns green again.

I go into my house and then head up to my room. I do my homework and then I call my best friend. We talk for a while. Then we both hang up and I read.

I turn off my light and rush to the bed. I get under the covers and put my head in the pillow. I close my eyes.

I hear a noise outside, thunder. Rain starts as well. I fall asleep.
