lostakashaThis week's prompt is "First Times."
Yes, it's a perversion, I know...but it suits the day.
Angel, post-NFA
Fight sleep, deny myself the wicked grace of exhaustion, knowing that if I sleep I will wake and remember.
I have no courage to face that moment when light filters into the room and into my head and for that first second of wakefulness I think everything is all right. One blessed second of relief is all it takes to spin the world into focus, spin me down into the clear understanding that everything is the perfect opposite of all right. Better to stay upright, keep moving.
Don’t ask myself why I’m still here when everything I touch fades away.
