A white flash fills the void of darkness
obliterating it and sending it back to the nothing where it came from
a monotonous sound feels the air tentatively in a progressive hum
Click click click CLICK CLACK CLICK
A smile appears briefly then vanishes as darkness engulfs once more.
A response resonates around the room as the darkness flees in terror from the minute white light of the screen
the monotonous sound parades around my eardrum once more and then is silent as the screen dims
A warmth close to my heart shifts as it searches for a new more comfortable position
to await the arrival of the light from the screen
Almost instantly the glass screen glares to life again. Pause.
eyes take in the manuscript the screen presents. Pause.
The monotonous clicking continues.
Sleep evades me.
The ever repeating process mocks my eyelids as they try to shut out the light and dances around my ears with its sound.
Peace. At last.
Morning arrives with my heart heavy
my head in the clouds.
I feel pushed aside
I bottle it in and shove a smile onto my sagging features
I deserve better than what i get when will i get it?
