Disclaimer: I don't own TMNT, so you can't sue me. I'm just borrowing them
for a bit. But all the original creations are mine, so if you want to use
them, please just ask. Thank you.
(Author's note: okay, this isn't much of a chapter I know. Again, it's more of an interlude but it will have to do. More will be coming soon, I promise. :P )
Chapter 9: What now?
My memories finally seeped to a trickle and eventually disappeared into the depths of my subconscious again. I can't say that I was sorry for them to go. It was always hard for me to remember those times and after what had happened earlier, they stung worse than usual.
That's only natural I suppose. When someone experiences one unpleasantry after another, they normally don't have much room for anything else. And that was the way that I was feeling right now. Full of one thing and with no room for anything else.
For a moment, I just sat there on my bunk, trying to decide what I should do next. It was obvious that meditating was out, since every attempt that I made only got me more frustrated. And I certainly didn't feel like socializing with anyone at he moment, so that was a bust too. Which left me with three options.
One, I could just sit here and do nothing. I mean, unless something came up or I was sent for personally, I didn't have anything to do. The next four days were mine to do with as I pleased and that included just sitting around doing nothing.
If I didn't do that, then I could always practice some katas. That sometimes helped me to unwind but not often. Still, it might be worth a shot. Then again, I really didn't feel like moving around at the moment, so maybe not.
Which left me with option number three. I could just stay where I was and go to sleep. I wouldn't have to do anything, be bothered by anyone or have to worry about anything for awhile. Just the thing that I wanted right. So sleep it was.
I couldn't have made that decision with better timing. Exhaustion was already taking a hold of me and for once, I didn't resist the feeling. I went right along with it. As a result, I soon found myself laying back and falling deep into the welcomed abyss of slumber.
