Nighttime Cruising

DionTre Speller

Just did overtime at my call center job. I got off extremely late than what I am used to. I usually get off around 8 but since it’s a holiday weekend I got off at 11:30pm. My eyes are very heavy and I still have to drive home. So many calls and dealing with the public takes a lot out of you. I clocked out of work and went to the parking garage. I spot my car which is a gray 2006 Hyundai Sonata and unlock my car doors.BEEP-BEEPI hopped in my car and start it up. As I began buckling up, I remembered to turn my dash camera on. I had a couple of...

Nightly Walking

DionTre Speller

Submitted to Contest #102

Sometimes I have trouble falling to sleep. Just lying in my bed tossing and turning hoping that sleep will come soon. But it seems I can never find the slumber I want. Just closing my eyes and lying-in bed but nothing happens. Not even a drift. I hit bed usually by 10:30pm. I even take a sleeping pill every night to fall asleep. Not even that helps. I do this all the time like it is a common part of my routine. I did find that going outdoors and walking around the neighborhood helps. My neighborhood is about a mile long.

Trigger warning: violence I had a tough time sleeping that night. After all the stress I endured today it felt like I was losing my mind. It just felt like my mind was foggy. After a long twelve-hour shift on my construction job; while in 101-degree weather, the last thing I needed now was no sleep. My body is tired, but my mind just keeps wandering. After many moments of tossing and turning I got up and go down my old creaky stairs to go to the kitchen for a drink. I grabbed a cup and started to fill my cup up with ice from my refrigerator....

Snowy Forest

I remember walking down a common hiking path up the snowy mountains in Montana at 3:00 in the evening. While hiking in these mountains sometimes it is hard to get a signal; but I was only going to walk this trail for 30 minutes or so and come back to my car. I start stretching by my car for a little while. I reach my hand in my coat pocket, grabbed my phone and checked the time. It was 3:13pm. I noticed a weather advisory on my phone. The weather advisory was about a massive winter blizzard in my area. I looked at the sky and it was clear. A...

Unfortunate Circumstances

DionTre Speller

Checks Wristwatch. “It’s 12:42 in the morning; why did I randomly have to be so hungry at this time of night?", DionTre thought to himself. “I just need to hurry back home and get to sleep,” he thought. ‘It is not safe out here at night for anyone, especially me. I just did ten years in prison for driving a getaway car for a bank robbery. I did testify against JaTwan and Joshua in exchange for a lighter sentence. In the courtroom, they both had an outburst and told me I better watch my back”, DionTre remembering as he continued walking...
