(From a random challenge of random words, from which we are to create a story, a snippet, a poem, a ramble, a vignette...anything, really.)
'Restless'
“I’m telling
you, I DON’T sleep. Least, not till it’s nearly time to wake. I drag myself
from bed with every fibre of my being screaming for me to lie back down. I pour
searing coffee down my gullet in some faint hope that it will do something.
You’d think after three nights of the damn same I would drop dead from
sheer exhaustion. But no! Come nightfall, I have the energy of a million suns.
Who cares that the darkness beneath my eyes tell a different story? I am mad. I
am magnificent. I draw insanely detailed doodles and dance and debate furiously
over little things. Don’t try to tame me. I own the night. And the day will not
defeat me.”
