"Hey
um…I'm here to see Dr. McClintock…"
"Do
you have an appointment?"
"Um
yeah, I do."
"Just
fill out the sheet then."
"Do
you have a pen?"
"Here."
"Thanks."
"Mommy, he broke my Lego building!"
"I did not!"
"Did too!"
"Samantha! Aaron! Stop it."
"Ow!"
"Mom, she hit me!"
"I did not!"
"Oh God…"
"'Cuse me son. Can you pass me that magazine?"
"Um…yeah sure…"
"Thank you."
Brett Easton Ellis is mostly known for the violence in his stories. However, The Rules Of Attraction was an exception that earned him a spot on Oprah's Book Club…
John A. Roebling found inspiration from the iron chain suspension bridge of Bamberg…
The
Lion King made millions when it hit Broadway…
"Gabriel Conlon?"
"Oh…Where do I go?"
"To the end of the hall, then take a left."
"Uh okay."
"Take off your shoes and step on the scale for me."
"Alright."
"Now stand straight up and put your heels against the wall."

"Interested medical books?"
"Huh? What, uh…no."
Only anatomy ones.
"Well,
reading is always good."
"I
guess so…"
I hate reading.
"So
you've been having some sleeping trouble?"
"Yes."
Obviously.
"Okay...When
did you first notice a change in your sleeping habits?"
"About
three weeks ago."
When
I started dating Racetrack.
"And
what time have you been falling asleep?"
"Uh…around…like…three
in the morning."
When
we're done.
"What
time are you waking up?"
"Around
seven or eight."
When
I notice he's gone to work.
"Have
you been exerting yourself more than often? Exercise? Stress?"
"Um…Not
really."
Yes.
Not exercise, no. Something else that rhymes with the first syllable
of "exercise", though. Does that count?
"What
type of mattress are you sleeping on? Metal spring or something
else?"
"I'm
not sure…I think it's a Serta."
How
the hell would I know? It's Race's bed, not mine.
"And
how many pillows are you using?"
"None."
Race's
chest.
"Okay.
Have you been drinking any beverages containing a lot of caffeine?"
"No."
Just
four cans of Dr. Pepper while I'm waiting for him to get home at
night.
"Are
there any noises interrupting your sleep? Cars, yelling, dripping
water?"
"I
don't think so."
Just
moaning. No big deal, right?
"Are
you in pain when you try to go to bed? Headaches, backaches, or
anything?"
"I
guess I'm just a little sore."
Race
isn't fat, but it still hurts when he's sprawled on top of me.
It's sort of hard to breath.
"Do
you experience any nightmares once you fall asleep?"
"No."
There's
that re-occurring one about Race dumping me.
"Do
you wake up once you have fallen asleep? Or is it just that you have
a hard time getting to sleep?"
"Both."
Every
thirty minutes I wake up to see if he is still there.
"Have
you taken any over-the-counter drugs to treat your sleeping problem?"
"No."
Unless
Racetrack is a drug.
"Well,
it sounds like you might have slight insomnia."
"Oh…"
I
don't think you diagnosed me right, doctor.
"Here's
a prescription you can take…Just take two with lots of water."
"Thank
you."
I
don't need medicine. I just need to know that Race won't leave
me.
"You're
welcome. Come and see me in a few weeks if you're still having
trouble."
"Sure
thing."
A
few weeks? He'll break up with me in a few weeks!
"Bye,
kid."
"Bye."
I
need a to sleep this off.
Another dialogue only story. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. My inspiration for this is the fact that I've been going to bed at around one/two/three AM for the past week. It's awful.
