Writer's Block: Short Days

Nov 12, 2008 10:11


Its getting dark now...and its only 1:30pm

Maybe it's the clouds over head and the rain pouring down which seems to bring a mournful mood upon those who gaze out of the glass windows of the common room. Ironic, that the common room brings common thoughts among those who sit inside. As far as I know anyway...

But still, walking out of college at the end of the day (3:40pm) seems as if I'v stayed behind an extra three hours and the light is fading. Fading FAST. During the Summer, I had enjoyed the liberty of being able to wait until all of the school children had gone home and that is when I would follow, 10 minutes later, to enjoy the emptyness, the clear paths, the songs on my ipod and the sounds of the cars rushing by rather than the screaming, cackling and cockiness of those troop of baboons who make their way home like a trial of ants.

This time, has come to and end.

I will have to take my chances or leave the earliest. Walking briskly... well... more than 'briskly' but still. I'll burn some calories. Not that it would affect me. Im as slim as a six pence and no, im not Keira Knightly, no bones stick out from me. Don't get me wrong, I admire Keira Knightly and her acting roles but she is unbelievably skinny. I know how she feels though. I'm not one of those girls who can easily gain weight. I eat anything I want, be it healthy or not and still, I dont change.

Short days, dark afternoons, slim pickings, both the people around and myself.

thankyou for reading, please comment -Kx
