The Limelight

The spotlight is on me. I am going to trip and fall. Dozens of animated avatar eyes staring at me through their empty souls. Waiting to see how much I can carry before I lose my balance. How did I end up here and why? I didn't see it coming, somehow the blaring horns of the train barreling down on me as I lay strapped to the tracks wasn't a signal. I missed it, I took a nap at a bad time. Even as I said yes, I said no. I am rambling for the sake of hearing my fingers pound on the keyboard. I got to get some sleep, tomorrow the floodlights will take away the soothing darkness of 4am
