3AM in Nowhere.

Another One Of Those Moments.

By Cathy (Christine Acheini) Ben-Ameh.Published 9 months ago 1 min read



It's 3am.

I’m in a town that could be a witness protection location—quiet, grey, suspiciously devoid of decent coffee or emotional support.

No friends, no familiar streets, no late-night corner shops that judge me kindly.

If homesickness had a ringtone, it’d be a night bus pulling up in London, a drunken cheer in Manchester, or a seagull scream in Newcastle.

I want out.

Out of this place, out of my own head, out of this mood that feels like someone left the existential dread setting on high.

Who let me wander this far from serotonin?
