Silent. The faint sound of the tv playing. I let out a sigh. My tv’s little red light is glowing from the wall in front of me.
It’s almost midnight but I can’t sleep. I’m supposed to try, instead I’m playing games on my phone in the dark.
It’s so quiet at this hour. The tv is off, so there’s no other background noise than the wind blowing in the trees.
I finish a daily task in one of my games. There’s nothing left for me to do now, so I should try falling asleep.
A song is playing. Which one is it again…? I don’t remember, it doesn’t matter anyway.
It’s rather quiet here, except for the occasional screaming or yelling which can be heard from my brothers room
- even though our rooms are in separate ends of the house. He’s playing video games, maybe with some friends online,
so I don’t pay the yelling any mind.
I sit in my chair, computer in front of me. There’s a religion assignment which I need to finish,
but I’d much rather play card games with music playing than do my homework. ‘I’m going to get it done before we have to turn it in
anyways, might as well do something else now.’ I always procrastinate, but I can’t get myself to stop, so I just let it happen.
It's always the same around the house.
Quiet. Silent. The wind being the only noise that can be heard.
