All-nighters

 


All-nighters


By Craig Wilson


The smoke has cleared, and I'm in a library.

Of course, I'm not by myself in here.

I see that there are other students with me.

They remind me we are here to study.

I promised to pull some all-nighters.

I sighed. I reluctantly study my butt off.

Thus, I find it difficult to keep awake.

A friend of mine hands me an energy drink.

I chug my drink. My heart races. I’m alert.

I thank my friend. I return to my work.

The clock ticks. Time moves so slowly.

My alarm goes off, and I quickly wake up.


The End
