Wistful Weavings - Remember Myself (The Traveler's Tale)
"Hello, my passing traveler,
I pray the season finds you well.
I'll make this stay with me brief-
lest I delay you in this hell."
---
Last time I said I was sick. Turns out it's more than that.
I dunno what's medically wrong with me, and I'd rather not waste a few hundred words here speculating and fishing for sympathy. I just wanted... no, I needed to write something-- ANYTHING. Writing (and subsequently posting it somewhere) is pretty much the only outlet I have these days, so I just forced this out before I imploded. For how simple a piece it is, it took far, far too much time, and is probably well-below my mediocre standards, but at least it came out at all. That's more than I've managed for a week now, homework included. Maybe that doesn't sound like a long time, but to me it feels like a lifetime, or three.
Anyway, thanks for reading. Comments/critique welcome as always. Hopefully the doctors will have good news for me tomorrow and this'll be the last anyone hears of this mess. Sorry to keep filling up my posts with it, believe me, I want nothing more than to breathe deep in that musical, creative air again. 'Til then.

Thank you, Tempest, I can't tell you how much I appreciate the encouragement. I haven't had much confidence in my work lately- I like to think it's good, but often I hesitate on that submit button, wondering if I'm making a fool of myself. That probably comes off narcissistic; I guess it's a lose-lose situation.
It's comments like these that keep the lights on, so to speak, so thank you for taking the time to leave it, along with the well wishes. Hopefully your own writing has treated you well lately, I found myself wondering about that just a day or two ago. Interesting coincidence.
And yeah, still fighting... well, WHATEVER this is. Luckily (in a way) it's not a typical kind of sick, just like zombie mode (putting my descriptive powers to GREAT use here.) Just gotta let it run it's course, I guess.
... I need to start imposing a character limit on myself.
