The Long Day

_ means insert your desired sex. Male or Female.


The morning sun touches _ face, _ slowly opens _ eyes to discover that its another day.
The brand new day that _ wished that had never come. _ toss and turn in _ almost
comfortable bed, but it seems that _ does not want to face the day that has acknowledged
_. _ soon gives up the fight and figures "what the heck!". Slowly _ gets up, moaning and
grumbling. _ feet touches the cold floor, the floor and roof that _ hasn't rent in over a
month. _ rubs _ eyes and just looks for filth in them. Its like life has no more meaning.
Life bores _ with endless disappointment.


With nothing to do, _ doesn't go straight to the wash room. _ goes to the T.V and just
channel surf. Why you may ask? _ is un-employed. Bored with _ previous job, sick and
tired of the wackos at _ work place. _ just one day thought "Enough is enough!". Hand in
the "I Quit" letter and left. Now _ is just looking for a new place to belong too. A working environment that could relate to _. The TV has nothing to offer _. The morning shows are
full of mindless conversations. The next thing on the list is surfing the world wide web, but
before that _ goes to the wash room to take a leak. As _ is in the place of release, _ is
cracking _ head on what to do today. Its been 3 weeks without a job and _ is already bored
out of _ mind. _ is scared of staying home and just washing _ life away. Growing old and fat
and alone is the Fear Factor for _. Day in and day out surfing the net for a job, is just so
frustrating and it slowly drives _ to the verge of insanity. Its only 11am and 13 hours to
go until _ goes to sleep and waits for the new day to bug _ life again. After surfing around
for info and boring internet shopping, _ then decides to do something different for today.
_ was going to the outside world to explore and its madness.


Getting all pumped up and finally have a shower, _ is all ready for the outside world. Then _
thinks "What about money?" " I have to be saving" "What if I don't get a job this month?"
Slowly the pump-ness turned into laziness. _ then crawls back to the computer room to
look for more movies to download. _ is a download freak, with no cash to buy DVD's, _
decided why not just hitting two bird with one stone. Just paying for the electricity bill
instead of paying for both DVD and electricity bills. It was a stroke of genius! _ looked up
at _ all so handy clock and it was only 1pm. "Crap!" after doing all the things. Times seems
to be playing tricks on our mis-guided human.


Again touching _ feet the cold floor, _ looked around at _ apartment. _ sees an empty
and shallow shell. Nobody to talk to _, no one to comfort _ feelings and no one to show _
love. _ looks down and sighs. Continuing _ journey to the all so small kitchen. With time
against _, _ just opens and closes cupboards. Looking for a suitable place for his feast. Pulls
open _ cooling device to discover that his life stock of food was running low. Lazy to even
think of going out again. _ just grabs the bread and some cheese, shoves the whole thing in
the microwave and waits patiently. "Ting!" "Your food is served" it was melted cheese on
bread. _ realizes that its fatting but what the hell.


Grabbing the sustenance and getting out of the kitchen, _ goes back to the hall for more
mindless entertainment. With nothing on the TV. _ opens up _ DVD closet for something to
brighten up _ day. Something to tickle _ funny bone while _ eats. "Me,Myself and Irene" Jim
was always one of _ best comedian. Sitting and laughing made _ afternoon quiet enjoyable.
_ hasn't been having this much fun for days. After the credits start rolling in, _ thought to _
self "I must be the most dead person in town". 4.35pm. "Dammit!" After all the smiles and
stomach cramps. _ went to _ all so comfortable bed for some shut eye and hopefully a
wonderful and exotic dream.


Tossing and turning, _ couldn't get the shut eye that _ wished for. _ mind was flooded with
thoughts of finding a job and the right companion. These thoughts haunt _ for the one whole
hour. Eating up _ soul slowly but surely. The poor thing is now afraid of sleeping and getting
up to see _ self old and hagged.


"What will the future hold for me?" turned _ head and looked at the time-teller. 5.50pm.
Time to get up. 6pm is the time for _ show. This was the only thing that keep _ entertained
for the whole day. As _ gets up from bed. _ notices that _ has left the breaded cheese plate
on the table. That meant trouble. _ quickly rushed out and saw. "Oh Crap!" it was ants. They
were _ room mates. _ dashed angrily to take the killer spray. Ran back and sprayed the ants
to certain death. "Take this you !^*!(@*@()@@)()*!%!^$#@" and so the holy words came
gushing out of _ mouth as _ sprayed them.


Cleaning up was next on _ list of hate-to-do. "Ahhhh, why me?" 6.15pm. Cleaning and
watching _ show. This was quiet unexpected for _, well _ does need some work to do after all.


The sun sets over the wide room in the hall. _ looks out with joy and happiness, Thanks the
gods for bringing the day to an end. At night was a different story for _. The shows and movies
was way better and _ could enjoy the sweet sound of better music at night. _ was a night
person after all, _ mind worked better when the sun did not shine on _ brain. 11pm. The day
was about to end. _ crawls back into _ bed and continues thinking of what _ might do the next
day. Hopefully some company will call _ for a job interview and hire _ straight on the dot. As _
closes _ eyes. _ still hopes for a better tomorrow and some exotic adventure to happen in _
dreams.
