More than twinkling stars,
There are twinkling airplanes
In the night sky.
What does darkness mean anymore,
When the light’s always by our bedside.
In search of darkness,
We now go deep inside our minds.

Day 4: Scallop
Day 4 Inktober 2022: Scallop
She walked down the busy market streets in her scallop dress, smiling and greeting at all only to be rushed and pushed around. Her desire was to be ordinary but how could she, she was a cut above the rest.
Day 3: Nightstand
Day 3 Inktober : Bat
Look at these silly humans, their whole world has turned upside down. I’m a creature of the night, stay away, be wary of the bite. You stay in your forest, and I’ll hang out in mine.
Day 2: Buddies
Day 2 Inktober 2022: Scurry
The first image that immediately came to my mind when I thought of scurry was Tom and Jerry. A show we have all grown up watching and still continue to watch when we are in a mood for a hearty laugh.

What an uncomfortable feeling this is,
Restlessness, brain fog, uncertainty.
What kind of a choice is this that I need to make.
What is this guilt?
Should I find happiness in struggle?
Or live an oblivious and blissful life?
Why is it always so hard and painful to leave?

What are your thoughts on open-ended stories?
Dear reader, today I have a controversial topic to talk about – open ended novels. There was a time when I much appreciated open-ended stories.

Tossing and turning,
Taking deep breaths,
Reading books,
Listening to meditative music to put me back to sleep…
Why isn’t anything helping?
What is it that I’ve been thinking?
Am I anxious or just excited?
What am I waiting for,
Or rather who am I waiting for?
No, stop it!
Stop thinking.
I need my sleep.
Let’s try going back to sleep.
Night night!
