Go

[rejectomorph]

Grey light. The first bird chirps and breaks the stillness. On the next street, I hear a car start. Throaty engine rumble, crunch of tires on gravel. Changing pitch as it drives away. I listen to the sound fade and vanish. I want to be in that car. Go anywhere, wherever it is going. Go away from this constricted house and its nightly groans.
