Moonlit chronicle

Posted on November 20, 2013 By adcitlali

Snow outside my window
It’s Wednesday in November
2:21AM
No wind

Sleepless thoughts

I download the app
Adequate sleep? –it asks
I need negative numbers!
Sleeping time?
I hit zero
Tired?
Very
Would you rate us now or later?
I quit
–> DELETE

2:30AM
Snowdust in the balcony
Moonlight dancing
Two clouds
No cars

2:33AM
A girl walking home
Is she?
Footsteps
No heels

2:37AM
Clouded moon
Dark serenity
Cold breeze
No stress

Peaceful thoughts?
Maybe
Feeling cold?
A little
Would you sleep now or later?
Can’t tell
Time?
4:03AM
Bed?
OK

It’s open link night at Week 123 | dVerse. Claudia is hosting the bar and just reminded us to connect with our own lives in the “art” we attempt to create.

    I like this a lot! I love the juxtaposition of what’s going on outside and what the app is asking you.

    A lovely moment-capture. I found the juxtaposition of the app and the outside world especially captivating.

    not being able to sleep – that’s rough. The view from your window sounds interesting though! Rate the app, hardly! 🙂
