In the Clouds

The excruciating pain causing my right eye to twitch in hopes of short relief.

The wooden surface barely peeking through the layers of booklets messily stacked, like a sloppily made fast-food chain cheeseburger. His coarse hand rubbed his temples in distress. His eyes fixed on the corner of the display, constantly monitoring the time. He prompted his glasses up the bridge of his nose.

Scanning every numerical figure, slowly each losing their significance as time passed.

The lyrical beat projecting from the tablet. Destroying every aspect of his focus. His headache began to strengthen its grip on his barely conscious self.

His hand reaching for the stained cardboard cup, savouring every drop of the dark fluid.

Seconds turned into minutes.

Minutes turned into hours.

Hours of strenuous and crippling dedication.

The voice in his mind advising him overwise, he placed iron bars over his conscious thoughts, closing the 4th wall over. Allowing himself to descend into a state of depression and isolation. His drowsiness allowing slowly washing over. His vision slowly losing its' clarity. The ink becoming round pearls of a disoriented picture. His head hit the wooden surface with a thud, with a deep breath in.
