Short Stories on Friday's!

Welcome to Friday's Short Stories,

Sleepless

Dreams are a part of the human imagination. The Dreamer drifts off to sleep and then the fantastic liquid pools invade leaving no part untouched. What happens when dreams become your reality? What happens when your dreamless? Well then you become Sleepless. 

I stared at the tans walls wondering when I would fall into a coma again. I'd only experienced the high twice in my life. Once when I was a child and the second time I wasn't much younger than I am now. I was the new generation of the human race. Faster. Intelligent. Beautiful. I was far beyond human technology. My creators had made me Sleepless.

These a coma induced states were something my creators had made and distributed to me. I'd always ask why I was being put under these drugs. The middle aged man would look at me with dancing eyes and say, "You are Sleepless. Better than the humans and the wave of the future." I would smile emotionless. I was a puppet for these scientists to probe and I didn't have the power to stop them.

"It's time." someone faintly whispered behind me. 

I craned my neck around to see who was speaking but the darkness engulfed me first. I fell back into the a coma for the third time that year.

While I was under their seductive drugs, I was taken back in time. I watched as the world changed around me. Summer changed to Fall. Joyous children changed into rebellious teenagers. Saplings grew into Trees. Elderly men and women were buried in the ground. This world was a dream and an unkind one at that. Yet somehow, I was curious about this world.

Sleepless was the new dream. The dream of the scientists. For the hybrids to be without the item that pushed the humans to do strange and wondrous things. They didn't want the humans to have that power. The scientists said it was dangerous. I was without and bred to be better. The Lab was my home, where I lived. 

I was the worlds creation and the worlds undoing. I was made to be the hybrid race. To be a better human. I was without dreams, which so many of them had. I was Sleepless.

P.S. Please remember that all my short stories are rough drafts and could probably use a good critiquing.

A New Chapter In My Life...!!!

Hey Everyone, So I started a new Job. Well technically I've been there for a few weeks but I haven't been posting anything on my blog. It feels like it's been an eternity. And I guess I should start from the beginning. So I was at my new job, maybe a couple days after I'd originally started working there. I was bagging for a cashier who I didn't know that well. Our customers started comparing us. They were saying we looked alike and that we could be related. We just looked at each other. I told our customers that I don't have an older brother, just a little sister and we didn't even look alike. The next day, he asked me what our customers were talking about. I smiled and told him that they thought we were related. Then other cashiers agreed and thought we could be brother and sister. Haha. I thought it was great. After that day, I didn't want to bag for any one else. He made working ten times better than I ever could have imagined. And we'd tal...

A Ruff Patch in the Pumpkin Patch...!!!

Hey Readers, So last night I had a class at the local community college. I was already late due to a nice conversation I had with my best friend over Skype. I really thought I'd get there on time. When I got there, I was rushing to get to the class but I got merely five steps over the bridge when I saw two people I usually talk to on the way out of class. They told me that our class was canceled. I wasted my gas to get there. It pissed me off. Not to mention that my boyfriend and I had a ruff day yesterday but everything is better now. We just had to talk about it. I was so scared I thought I was gonna lose him. Then last night he told me he was filling out papers for the air force and the navy. I started to freak out because I thought he was signing up for them. I just, we've been together for seven months and I'm not ready for him to up and leave me here while he's travelling the world.

19 is for Dix-Neuf!

Howdy Partner, You know whats funny. Okay, well maybe it's not that funny. I am nineteen years old. I'll be twenty in September. It feels so weird, it's so strange. I can't seem to get over it. Twenty - that's a huge step sort of. I mean just think about it. Then again Twenty-one is supposed to be a huge ordeal or too. I've been very busy today. I was out most of the day cleaning a empty house. Now I'm really tired. I'm so not in the mood to post. I need to take a shower. I feel all dirty from cleeaning that house. Well actually it was a three bedroom apartment not a house. It was pretty nice. But the people who painted it did a horrible job. It sure had a lot of dust. I'm making a list of games I want to buy for my PS3. I'm going to ask for Gamestop Gift Cards. I like shopping there for all my gaming needs. Whenever I walk into Gamestop, I like to think I'm different because some girls are too girly to be seen in a store like that.  I...
