That Particular Sunday Ennui by Kevin M. Hibshman

Another week gone by.

I move through the motions of a rote existence.

What is the sky trying to tell me?

I am frightened.

It seems to read loneliness.

I remember younger days.

There was always somebody around to laugh or cry with.

That was when time didn't feel like a threat.

My brother on an island.

My sister only miles away but I might as well be on Mars.

I picture Mom in her kitchen.

Dad asleep in his recliner.

My room as it once was.

The only haven I knew, stuffed with books and records.

I cannot listen to anything when this hits.

I need another cigarette.
