《Diary of an Insomniac》Night 2
Advertisement
It's 2:25 am and I've decided to write today's entry. The air conditioning is on but I like it cold so the ceiling fan is on as well. My mattress lies on the ground. The ground is covered in a white carpet. Well now I'm just listing my current environment so I guess I'll include two thin pillows stacked below my head giving it support. Neither pillow is covered by a pillow case. I'm covered in a moderately thick sheet. I usually sleep in only my underwear. Sometimes I'll wear shorts if I may be awoken by another person but that's rare. I used to sleep naked but I learned my lesson from that hence the previous statement. I guess I'll start from my morning again.
I woke up at 10ish again. After some time in the restroom I went downstairs. There was no one around so I was alone. I drank my smoothie and got into my car. The inside was very hot so I had the air at full blast. On the way to my university I saw a white Corvette. It moved slowly as there was heavy traffic.
I crashed. It was dark and the rain had left the ground wet. My wheels had lost traction. I kicked out the window and crawled out. My head was spinning and my ear rang out a high pitched noise. The feeling reminded me of my childhood days. I moved around the car inspecting the damage. It was bad. The left side was caved in, several of my wheels were blown out and the whole thing was flipped on its head. I started to hear a cry once the high pitch in my ears began to fade away. I saw on the other side of the road was another vehicle. Did I cause it to skid off the road? My head pounded too forcefully to remember. I walked over to see if they were alright. I saw a head coming out of the windshield. It was on the passenger side. The driver side window was too dark to see through. My hand found the handle to the door at the back. I opened it and out stepped a small boy. He looked up at me and I noticed his left eye had a ruptured blood vessel. The white of his eye was dyed red. I reached out for him but he backed away and ran for the road. I saw head lights traveling far too fast to be able to stop before they would hit the boy. I tried to run but I fell after an intense pain shot from my left ankle. I could only watch as the boy ran to the lane and sat down. He looked at me and smiled.

I made it to the university. I played pool against the best in the school and lost 0-7 in eight ball. I didn't play badly so I could accept my lost on the chin. I drove back to the house. It was empty as when I had left it. I did my homework and watched a prerecorded movie. I ate chicken I bought at a fast food place and I went to bed. Now I'm here writing this alone in this hollow house. I do hope my left ankle feels better tomorrow.

Currently participating in the April 2022 Royal Road Writeathon. This fiction will resume in May 2022 When Methuselah’s star explodes, the world burns under the impact of an extinction level event. Emmett Carter just wants one thing - to gather his family at the farm and keep them safe. Rated [M] for Mature Audiences. Contains Alcohol use, Drug use, Gore, Profanity, Smoking, Violence.Rated [D] for Drama. Contains emotional themes, interpersonal relationships, and character development. Author's note: You are reading a first draft, written mostly while drinking cheap whiskey. Expect it to read like hot garbage and I guarantee that it’ll meet your expectations. I’m a storyteller, not a writer - there’s a huge difference between the two professions. IMPORTANT! This story is told in a first-person limited, conversational style, with Emmett occasionally breaking the 4th wall and addressing the reader directly. This means that YOU and Emmett may have absolutely no idea why stuff is happening, because there will be little or no exposition or other POV's. Read the comments for spoilers, ask questions if you want to know something.This work incorporates blended aspects of Xianxia, Wuxia, Super powers, and Western Magic into a post-apocalyptic fantasy adventure. It is none of those things and all those things, mashed together. The MC is Over Powered, but so are many, many others. He just hasn't met them yet. Dear Student, What follows is an adaption of the diary of Emmett Carter before his Ascension. While the decades during and after the Aurora Apocalypse are lost to us, the Ascended himself has allowed us to publish this work so long as we warn the reader that it may not be entirely accurate or present an unbiased viewpoint of the events. One should also note that the Aurora was in flux during that time and some things that were possible in the early days are no longer possible, especially with the advent of the Akashic record. Editors have included footnotes when possible to explain pre-aurora technologies or concepts and how they relate to current magical technologies. The contents of this work may upset readers. If you’ve ever been in a natural disaster, had a house fire, witnessed a murder, lost a loved one to violence, or have a strong opinion on the sanctity of life, please do not read this. It contains dramatic scenes of a world in the throes of an apocalyptic event. There are no rainbows and unicorns, only loss, uncertainty, and death while the survivors struggle to rebuild their lives. Updates Thursdays and Sundays for now. Word count is about 2000 ~ 4000ish per chappie.
