5 minute writing exercise
Ever since the full moon, I seem to be losing larger and larger
amounts of time. Last night I awoke in a cold sweat and a puddle of
blood on my living room floor. The echoes of screams silently and
sweetly singing like a monster's lullaby. I pray for them to end. The
quiet becomes louder than the din at home but here, as I stand in place,
working a monotonous job that pleases neither my ambitions or my basic
needs, it's loud. it's thunderous with violent cacophony symbolizing
pre-alcoholism and drug abuse and neurotic human-isms forming in front
of my eyes. For moments, in the fog horn sports shrieks of Soccer and
baseball, the ambient shouting of some television quote or simply some
pissing contest, chest beating, college male whining or even the female
version that I call the mind numbing, baby voiced cutie squeal... The
true silence takes over. The silence of noise... It is at these
moments, however, that I lose those great spans of time, and the
creature within me takes over. He must do his best to blend in to this
muted environment because when I come to, people stare at me and remark
on my abnormally blank stares...
