I'D STOP THE WORLD AND MELT WITH YOU
for reasons in which nate can't explain, his sleep schedule has been, as he would say, on crack. he hasn't been able to sleep at night for weeks now. it seems that as soon as the sun goes down, he is totally awake and ready to go and do something. he works pretty much everyday. when he gets off work, he sleeps for a few hours and then is awake until four in the morning or so. he doesn't know what the deal with his sleep patterns is. nothing has changed in his life recently. there hasn't been anything that he has been stressed about. usually, if there was, this would happen. but nate has been happy go lucky for months now. no drama. no stress. things had been going quite well. hopefully nothing will come up to change said behavior.
it was almost two am. nate hadn't eaten anything in about four hours. that is forever for him. as he laid on his ratty futon surfing the channels for something that wasn't porn, his stomach let out a great growl. his overweight orange cat that had been laying on his stomach was frightened by the loud lion-like roar jumped off, scratching his skin. "ow, jeez clem." he examined his shirt for a hole, his wonderful cat had left him a little one. it wasn't that big. the shirt was still acceptable. his mother would insist it was garbage and give it to a homeless shelter, but he was the needy one now. living on his own was pretty easy, but sometimes he missed the comforts off home. like, a maid. he hated doing dishes.
"okay, clem," he talked to his cat like she was person. he needed human contact, now! "i'm going to get some grub. don't miss me." throwing on a new tee shirt, he left his groovy pad and headed out into the big streets of hilo. he liked the city most of the time, expecially now. the atmosphere at night was calming and nice. drunk kids were leaving the clubs as if it were on fire, and nate smiled at them as he walked by. he was never a club kind of a guy. he liked sitting. and watching movies. that was probably where he would meet a girl. not busting a move in a fancy club. he would meet her at a gig. or in somewhere the served food. maybe a mcdonalds. that would be amazing.
a muffin sounds delicious right about now. something chocolately. with chips! vanilla or chocolate chips. both maybe? it was sad how excited nate was about this. he looked for the closest bakery and found a coffee shop instead. that works too. he examined the sweet section of the counter and found a chocolate muffin about the size of his fist. perfect. "um, hey, can i get that muffin and a large coffee with milk, please?" he smiled on the inside as the counter girl prepared his order. he checked out the place for an empty seat. it was surprisingly easy. there was a table in the back, he claimed that one. "thanks," he grabbed his order and casually strolled past the almost passed out bearded gentleman near the front. his stench wasn't pleasant, so he was glad about his 'table near the back' choice. he sat down and immediately took a bite of his muffin. ah, perfection in muffin form. yum.
