Hello, once again from me being shitty and not writing for practically a fort night. I was busy with family, moving, a new job there was a lot going on. Which brings me to my new post this is obviously inspired by the events I have had to struggle through. Just not that extreme. This is a another excerpt of a character I have already introduced if you want to check out other stuff like it check it out here. Anyways enjoy I tried to make this one of my better quality papers.
“You have to stay awake god damn
it!” you scream from inside the truck cabin. The dark circles burned themselves
into your eyes. Exhaustion was setting in and you wanted a place to crash. In
your mind the miles slowly ticked down only 34 miles left. With any slight
movement put stress on your stiff body. You groan as the radio starts playing
another sick love song from the station it happened to pick up. Gnawing on a
finger to Stave Off sleep, your eyes glaze over reading the lit up signs that slowly
passed overhead. The monotony of it all could drive a man crazy. 29.
You check
your mind. Nothing, is this truly oblivion?
Close to 40 hours now you have been awake. 26.Your mind is exhausted;
there is only so much you can take. Moving is a hell of its own. You had to do
it in one go or else you wouldn’t be able to go at all. You were caught up by that wind that called
you westward like there was something there for you. 22. Was it the need for a new town with something to spice up your lonely existence. 21.
“This is
the one for me.” You say trying to reassure yourself you would never do this
again. You new better though. 19. You do not argue with the wind, now that would be
insane. Rolling down the window you could smell the salty air. It was strange
and exhilarating to be so close to a beach. The climate was a drastic change
from a much colder town. You could see the faint outlines of the palm trees
that stretched overhead. 15. All of the sensational experiences picked your
spirits back up getting you excited for the destination that was nearing with each
minute that went by. 13.
You only
regret the pain that moving puts you though. In the end it is all worth it. 12.You
consult the printed directions as the light from street lights swept past you.
The exit was coming soon and you didn’t want to miss it. Your favorite fanciful
recreation of the house you were soon nearing came to mind. It was perfect with
clean beige carpets a red painted door with blue useless window shutters. 8. A
small covered deck with rosy stained wood that dropped off into a large lush
back yard. A sort of giddiness bubbled up as your though of ways to decorate
it. The thought of almost entirely new furnishings excited you to no end. 6.
The reality was you still haven’t even seen a picture of the outside of the
house yet. You know nothing. You bought it on the cheap as the economy crashed
around you. You were not worried. You still had a thing or two up your sleeve
for just such an event. 2. You see your exit and take it. The house was only a
couple of turns away.
It was dark
as you pull up and you couldn’t see much but what you could see was wonderful.
The grass wasn’t overgrown and the hedges looked healthy. The lot wasn’t
terribly large and the house was quaint. Just your size and hoped you were
close enough to the beach. Could you pick up surfing? Who knows? One time you
picked up a creative writing class. You never know what could be useful. Meeting people is hard but it never hurts to have a pretty face. It was difficult shattering your
stiff body back to life but you managed to walk. You paused and stared at the
now much larger truck than you thought you were driving that whole way.
Deciding finally to just leave it for now you hurry up the little path to the
door and opened it with the key that showed up several days ago in a brown slip as part of your
arrangements. You barely get past the living room before passing out on the floor. That is okay you can sleep. The truck will unload itself. You are just so are exhausted. Why not take a
break. You earned it.
