I don’t know what this is about… maybe I’ll know by the end of it.A Story by Ashton SchofieldIt's a day of grey and white.I don’t know what this is about… maybe I’ll know by the end of it. This morning - this afternoon - I woke up not knowing what day it was. The window was open - both windows - and I was weird. I was not tired, but not rested. I was not dreaming, but not awake either. I was in my grey room with my grey sheets and my grey computer beside me, looking at the grey sky. The sky was missing. Not literally… it was there - sort of. Every time I see white clouds in a blue sky, the beginning of The Simpsons theme song plays in my head on repeat. Today was not one of those days. Get up, make my bed, check my phone - I don’t reply to anyone. It’s f*****g humid in here. It’s probably because my windows are open to the grey sky in my grey room with my grey sheets and my grey computer side me. I read for two hours… I think. I don’t check the time. I go downstairs to my white house with my white mom and my white fridge to pull out the white-washed yellow lentil dal which my white mom calls “coco curry.” It’s not f*****g curry. I cook the brown rice on the black stove in the silver pot with a brown spoon. Put it in a blue bowl. I’m sad now. Back to my room to type on a grey computer to a white document with a red title in front of a white desktop. I think I know what this is about. © 2018 Ashton Schofield |
