100 words: Restlessness

I lay in bed, wide-awake. I think about everything and nothing, knowing that pondering upon the same things over and over again won’t solve anything; knowing that wondering about the same questions won’t give me any answers.

I’ve tried doing everything I could remember to beat insomnia; I’ve spent hours trying to remember what my grandma did when I couldn’t fall asleep as a child. I did remember all her secret recipes but none have worked.

Even listening to his slow breathing doesn’t calm me down. Restlessness is boiling inside me and I can’t find a way to appease it.

100 words: Bedridden


I don’t have a cold very often but when I do I’m very well taken care of.

He always orders me to stay in bed: “I’ll bring you whatever you need or want;“ and so he does. I sleep most of the time but when I’m awake he always asks what I want to eat and conjures up even the most extraordinary desires I have and makes sure that I’m comfortable at all times. To be honest, he spoils me rotten.

I hate having a cold but nonetheless I’m glad to know that he’s here to take care of me.
