Friday's 55 flash fiction: Apathy

To avoid apathy, I have conversations with myself.




Apathy isn't

A Pathetic Ye

A-pathetic Me

Chronicity of the late last minute deadline…..

Dead line/transeunt

Disarticulate/repair

Pre-postulate/prepare

Dis-intelligence/disguise

Disintegrate/improvise

Indifference/recognize

Transience/stabilize

Pathos/Aperture

A Path
To sadness/Is in a bottle or a stimulant or a week in bed.



(sorry if this doesn't make sense to anyone but me.  blame it on a sleepless night.)

  4. Apathy...not a great place in which to dwell.

    A little stream of consciousness isn't a bad thing. Hope you get some decent rest. Sleepless nights just suck.

  5. There are many days when, if I did not hold conversations with myself, I simply would have no conversation at all.

    One must do what one must do, really. :)

    Insomnia brings out the crinkled edges, the shadows that create perspective (eventually).
