Haunting

I sat at my desk with a headache.

Past tense, but it's currently happening.

I waited for the day to pass.

So I could go where I wanted to be.

In bed.

But not too early

An acceptable time for a person of my age.

I felt haunted by grandma.

Dead now, so that works.

She always spoke fondly of bed time.

It was what she spent her days looking forward to.

Being awake seemed like an inconvenience.

I felt my future sloshing over me.
