Story I wrote while waiting for a friend to log onto DA.
The computer buzzs to life, awoken from it's night slumber just as I have. Not right away though, a shower was had before hand. An hour away from midnight is what the time said in the lower right hand corner of the screen. I sigh. Haven't been able to sleep long at night lately. Tonight was another hour long sleep, or should I really call it a nap? Logging into my normal site yeilds no one on, as expected. After all, it is close to midnight. No one to text, well one person is up as alte as I but know he won't be for long. Texts do not come in as much as the had to. I've seem to be forgotten by most. Its times like these, where no contact with many makes me feel so alone. SUre talking to one person but like I said, he will soon be resting. I stare up at my messages. WHy couldn't my friend be online. I barely get to talk to her as much as I would like now a days. Should have today but.....
Half an hour has already passed. Nothing from no body....I mean anyone. I wonder if my friend is dreaming, of what my friend might be dreaming. I should be dreaming. Dreaming about my friend is what I have been. I just cant stop, dreaming or thinking about my friend. I miss them....
Midnight, midnight finally has come. The dawn of a new day. Quit a long hour. Quit long hours to come. Doesn't matter how long, I will be here waiting.
My body tingles with a sensation I do not know. Hours have past and has too rays of sun. Why aren't they up yet?
It's getting hard to move around the mouse let alone click. No clue how long I have been waiting, the time in the corner is gone. My body aches.
It took some time, again I don't know how long, to pick out all the fingernails from the keyboard. Fingernails, my fingernails which had fallen right off my fingers. I know I should try to sleep but I would miss my chance to talk to my dear friend. SO, I will keep waiting.
How long has the cobwebs in my house been here? Don't recall seeing them before. They are every where. Cleaned up a few however many more are still around.
My legs have stopped working. I cannot move them. Might be from lack of blood flow but I can not about it. Just means I won't leave this chair even more than I want to....speaking of this chair, I've noticed it is dirty. Old dirty. A few wheels aren't moving as I attempt to move around by pushing away from, my computer desk or pulling myself towards it.
Was taking more time to pick things out of my keyboard once again, this time my teeth. NO blood flowed from my mouth. I taste dirt. My friend, why aren't you on. Must I wait and wait for you? I shall....I shall...
Body fights me, parts are falling off. Ears, nose, my left arm and right eye have turned to dust. Wasn't painful oddly enough but felt relaxing. Like a great nights rest feels. Oh how I miss a great nights rest. Body, you cannot stop me. I'll wait even if you give out. I will wait......I will wait....my friend, for you.
