The wake #4: rise and shine

The fourth in 'the Wake' series of short stories. If you haven't read the previous ones, I recommend you do do here1 here2 and here3 

The Wake #4: Rise and shine

It was 7:00 am in a remote area some would call a ghetto.

The brightness of the morning light was blinding as Sublime Mist opened his eyes. It could be likened to the 

blindness of a baby during the first days of arrival. Blimey couldn't see for a while. When he started picturing 

the world around slowly, his memories came back and he started to realize that it all didn't make sense. He 

couldn't be here. He knew he had a terrible dream but what about before? He surely didn't park his bike in the 

middle of the road and sleep on the floor.

 He stood up and started to observe his surroundings and the situation.

the Wake #3: Nightmare

This is the third in the series of short stories. If you haven't read 1 and 2, I recommend you do so here 1 or here 2 before proceeding.

"Welcome to Nightmare Tournament!". The show presenter, looking down to the participants, in the stadium-like arena said with enthusiasm.
"You have been chosen for this contest. Please note that it is not personal. Participants were chosen at random".
"Yeah, right". Said the guy in the middle of the arena. He basically just fell asleep in his room moments ago.
"You are in a joint dream session. No time to explain all that. Just know that everyone here is real".
There was noise everywhere, people wondering what was going on.

I don't know how I started writing poetry. It might not be that bad after all.

Multiple personality disorder

Oh boy, what have you done? Why did you do it?

I don’t know. It wasn’t me. It’s like someone pushed me to it

I can’t explain. It’s like I lost control.

It’s like my own mind has a mind of its own

I can tell, there’s someone else inside

Doing things I would never have done

Who is it? Who is this other person?

Does it mean he and I share one mind?

The Wake: #2

This is the sequel to a story I posted last week. herheree. If you haven't read it, I strongly recommend you do before proceeding...
the Wake: hash 2
***
6:30 am, outside the apartment, two friends struggle to get to a cab. One, less weak than the other, is helping him stay on two feet...
"Don't worry, man, you won't fail. You're smart". Smiles said to Blimey.
"Not like this, I cant even add... I cant even think of what I can't add". Said Blimey.
"I still don't get why we're still weak".
"*sigh* and we just had times 10 coffee configuration".
"Coffee? I added a little 'extra'. I thought you'd notice".
"The extra?". Blimey asked, surprised.
"mm hmm".
"Why?"
"I wanted to help. You have a test tod..."
"I didn't ask for the extra! I don't do drugs. And I have a test? Smart move. We'll get checked".
"Chillax, man it's not detectable. And it's not technically a drug."

World sleep day

Tomorrow, or today, March 13th will be or is, the World Sleep Day. It's normally the friday of the second week of march. It is a day to chill out and sleep, and that's what I'll be doing this night and the next. At least, I'll try. This day is for everyone to remember the importance of sleep and the consequences of lack of sleep. I will (try to) sleep by 10pm and wake up in the morning. If I wake up in the midnight with no sign of sleep, I'll just write. Sometimes, you just cant fight it. That's what I'll do if I'm awake during 'sleeping hours' from now on... Is it just me or is this World sleep day really contagious? I mean, I'm really sleepy. This doesn't normally happen at this time. I guess I'm catching the drift huh?
By the way, 'the Wake' is still coming back this Saturday.. And I can't wait..
Off to bed. TGIF..

Photo talk show.

Tonight, I'm going to 'review' some pictures. I'm really not in top writing mode so I just surfed and found these mind blowing pictures (who's kidding? Some are just bizarre).

First, we have Captain Mindbomb

Really, you guys should try meditation. The results could be really mind blowing. He's really getting his game on. He's on fire. But really, I heard it works. Not like in the pic of course lol, but it does.

Next up, is this picture. You'll be surprised to know what it is.

Overdrag

Overdrag... phh.. Does anyone else here get overdrag?. I mean who in the world doesn't hate overdrag?
**
Okay let's clear things up. Overdrag: you know when you sleep really late and wake up really early then you have excess sleep debt. Especially when you didn't have an afternoon nap. That effect you get that disturbs your head and haunts you all day, that's overdrag (that's what I call it.. It's not an actual word).
   I had overdrag today. And it was really really unpleasant. I couldn't even take a nap. It's like... Steve Rodgers punched you in the face and deeps your head in pure ice. I guess that's side effect #1.0 'The Overdrag effect'. I guess the best solution is take a nap.. And try to sleep early when you know you'll have to wake up early.
  I guess that's just the way it is..
Happy Wake..
Ali out...
