SHUTDOWN

There's an air of melancholy about me today. The past two days, actually. A heaviness has gripped me, from the top of my head down to my toes. I think I've turned catatonic.

Reality came in torrents yesterday, just like the sudden rain that fell in the afternoon. It flooded into my head, waves crashing into each other, numbing me.

For some bizarre reason, business of the past that I have definitely already gotten over suddenly threatened to return. Questions lingered and frustration quietly crept in, all veiled in gray. I could not react quickly to their siege, because I was hollow and pallid myself. We danced inside my head that sad, sad waltz, as I sat looking at the downpour.

Worse, questions about the future also wanted to be heard. I could not answer. Could not speak. Did not know.

So I turned it off, my mind.
