This Night Never Ends
There was one thing that she missed more than anything else about being a child, and that was the ability to fall asleep once her head hit the pillow and sleep soundly until her mother woke her up in the morning. Sadly those days had long passed, slowly disappearing hour by hour after her fifteenth birthday. She’d had a pink ice cream cake that birthday, and all her friends had slept over, it was the last time she’d done that. Now she remembered that her thirtieth birthday was coming up in a month, she hadn’t planned a birthday party in years. This started another long train of thought that ...

(TW: homophobia)Clink.My empty energy drink can hits a pile of others after I toss it into the backseat. It’s only my first one today considering it’s barely 4 am. I crack open another, driving with one hand as I stare out into the darkness and at the unbelievably mind-numbing road taking me through New Mexico.Believe it or not, I normally don’t consume two energy drinks by 5 am.
