One Side of the Story

By Syd GhanPublished 8 years ago 1 min read

(I'll admit, I've become obsessed with you and what you claim to stand for.)

Don’t put words in my mouth.

When did I say I was anti-immigrant?

No, you’re out of line.

(I feel alive. I'm shaking. I hope you feel it too. Maybe you don't, though.)

That’s not the issue.

Yes, he did. But he’s not the president, is he?

Oh sure, that’s something mature adults say to each other.

(I miss other people. I miss real human contact. I hate working nights. That would be a pretty embarrassing thing to admit, though.)

Fine, whatever.

It's not worth it anymore.

(It's not worth it anymore.)

I have to go to bed, I have work tomorrow night.

(I have to go to bed, I have work tomorrow night.)

Goodnight.

(Goodnight.)
