Sleep - Freewrite

By @jeezzle2/11/2018freewrite

I sat on the edge of my bed with my back propped against my pillow.

It was hot.

The air conditioning wasn't working because our electricity had been shut off and we weren't able to pay the bill to turn it back on.

Nevertheless we were making it work.

We slept with the balcony door open.

There was an outdoor that we kept locked so that the dog wouldn't be able to escape.

As I sat in my bed she looked up at me from her doggie bed as if to say.....

"Hey master...... it's freaking hot."

Looking over at the face of my beautiful wife I couldn't help but feel frustrated at my situation.

Her furrowed brow meant that in some dream she was feeling much like I was feeling now.

Small beads of sweat ran down the sides of her face. I reached over and brushed back her hair from her forehead.

We'd been getting by doing odd jobs here and there.

These past few months there hasn't been much work at all.

We spend most of our days now playing cards, drinking whatever we can get our hands on, and smoking cigarettes.

As far as lives go ours is pretty lame.

My wife is beautiful though and my dog is really cool.

My apartment is awesome and I really like my car.

I think I'm going to have all of these things forever. I think that even though I don't put in a lot of effort I'm still going to get all the things that I want.

Before I drift off to sleep I can't help but think.........I hope I'm not wrong.
