Today has been a rather insane day for reasons upon which I will elaborate at a later date. In the midst of the chaos, I managed to write a few sentences. They are as follows:

I’m alone in the cafeteria. The two freshman who were huddling together over a math book have left. The janitor and his giant fluffy broom have been and gone, leaving the floor clutter-free and shiny, but still gray. There’s no one here but the survie cams and me. All I want to do is speak to someone, but I’m out of friends. I guess that’s the hazard of only having one true friend. When she’s gone, you’re finished.

But when I look up at the smooth black lens of the nearest survie cam, I realize I’m not finished. And I’m not alone. Then I feel something awaken inside me. Something primal. Something true.

Off to London tomorrow. Catch up with you the day after.
