V Fantaseize II: A Reality's Decay
Before returning to the land of sleeping once more, I had a final nightmare. I had it after the first night with Amanda. I had this seizing fantasy, this moment of decay, where reality was entirely taken from me as if it never was. Because, perhaps, nothing existed since Jane died. Perhaps, I imagined it all on the hospital bed staring up at the ceiling, crying. In her bed.
I knew it wasn't so, but I clung to the thoughts happily.

"Stop kicking me "
"Fine. I'll just wake you up."

There's a snippet of time, I grab it and hope for dear life that it's going to work. I know it won't. But I know

The drugs have worked, I've slept well.
Things are different than usual.

Is sleep a bad thing? Yes.
Why?

I awkwardly played with the folds in my clothing. I had on new contacts, making me feel renewed and a better person. I had on clean clothes that I washed that day, and my hair was newly cut but wonderful looking since Tuesday.
Everything was much clearer in my mind. For the time being, I felt good, I feel as if some sort of optimism is shining on my life for the first time in years, completeness and an ability to make something out of life. It's such a unique feeling, and I have no idea why ev
III Chapter Two: Maternal
Sorry, Dr. Campbell. We both know I actually don't strive on logic; I strive on fantasy, drama. I strive on my own creations getting me through the day in the end or the creations of someone I love. Something I love. Jane used to write the most beautiful things, I'd read them for days on end without ceasing, I loved those, and I lived through those.

Remind me again what happened,
I seem to have forgotten.

I didn't tell him my whack job idea, not yet. I got the phone open and saw that my mother was calling. Then I raised it to my ear to speak. "Hello." I said nicely, I didn't want to come off as rude
II Chapter One: Exposition
Jane whispered down her hand, pressing lightly on the alarm clock, turning it off as I closed my eyes and drifted into thoughts of hers. And I, memories we shared and dreams that we often said were lies.

There's this idea.
It's very complicated, and I can't explain it in full detail.
But it starts with the words: Nobody Had Jane.

I woke in a hazy blur of shitty emotions. I didn't mean to go to sleep, but I ended up doing it again. It was after three days lacking it, staying in bed reading. I didn't want to go to sleep that time and I didn't mean to. But I did. It was a conscious decision accepting that

I Fantaseize I: Hospital Bed
And I didn't know how it happened, but it did happen, my mind could only spend so long in a fantasy at once that it surprised me that I stayed in this one for so long. But I did. I wanted it to continue forever, to have the chance and the perceiving thought that I was saying goodbye to her as she never did to me.

I have this idea, although crazy, you really should hear it out. It starts with the sleeping mind, in a pure R.E.M. state it dreams and repairs itself and your body. Through a strictly professional sense of mind, my ps

Insomnia. The name of my disease. I never took medicine for it. First, I thought it was a serious problem. Now, it's a habit. A passion. I don't sleep. I stay awake, playing shooters, listening music and searching different things on deviantArt. I was told I'm insane. Maybe I am. Maybe not. In fact, no one can be called a normal person. In fact, who cares? If you are doing whatever you like Then you don't care.
My family tried to stop me. To make me sleep. But they cannot.
I use to stay on the chair, on bed, in balcony, where I want, drinking my coffee, drawing whatever I have in my mind, reading
And I look like a corpse. My ey
This has me twisted.
Bent.
Broken.
You`ve read me through,
And now all I can see is red.
Red like my favorite color,
Red like flushed cheeks,
Read like the book you say I am,
Red like painted lips.
This pitch-redness,
It`s hard to see past.
When I shut my eyes to drown it out,
I see visions of a face and a smile I`d rather not be seeing,
At a time and a place so much more innocent and care-free than the one we seem to be at now.
Red like eyes after crying,
Red like the sting of heart break,
Read like knowing that it`ll never ever ever be the same again,
Never give up, don't be scared.
If you can't escape then fight, even to death.
Don't fear, fall into a rage.
If it's necessary, destroy what's in your way.
