THIS IS IT

The sun will set today like it did yesterday, and all the days before that, but it's not promised nor unprecedented. We just assume it will, or rather, we do not think about the possibility of therese. Because the now is so consuming for some, others are busy dreading or gleaming at their past. Others live for the future, and well, the end will come, uncalled for and unexpected, and it does not need to be a result of the sun's lack of setting.

No Warranty

Weekly Contest #96

I ran. I don't like to run, but I ran, sprinting, and boy did I feel young. A nostalgic feeling entered the muscles that felt stiff from lack of use from what felt like years. Awful as it was, I'm glad I moved that suddenly, I'm glad I'm still sore, because even though I failed, at least I know I will not regret not trying. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am an old lady. A resident of Warrentoughfeald, a small, cursed town. Would say it was typical, and it was for some...
