I hear their laughter ringing through the room mocking teasing laughter.

I see their faces lit up with malicious glee ugly like the hyena - they've caught the scent of blood

I taste the blood in my mouth, warm, and realize I've bit my cheeks to keep the tears away.

I want to change my pants

Desperate for coffee, my thoughts turn dark upon realization that I have failed to plan ahead.

No percolators will drip this morning.

Needing nourishment, my rage burns as I realize I have failed to plan ahead.

No eggos to l'eggo this morning.

Craving companionship, my morning collapses as I realize she's already left.

I'm going back to bed.
