Postcards From The Underbelly
Wake Up
It was half past midnight and we were still walking. I was so tired as I started walking slower and Jimmy was practically walking in his sleep. I tripped over my own feet falling to the ground. Creating a cloud of dust around myself.
"Come on, we gotta keep going."
Jimmy tried pulling me up. I couldn't even feel by body anymore. I was so tired.
"I can't.....you go."
I breathed closing my eyes. The feeling of sleep coming was welcoming. Jimmy shook me away and I opened my eyes as he looked around frantically.
"You have to get up now."
"Why?"
I tiredly sat up.
"I told you it's not safe out here. We have to keep going. Come on."
He picked me up carring me, walking down the road. I didn't even fuss. It was quite nice actually. I nuzzled my head into Jimmy's warm neck. He readjusted me in his arms and I noticed a light shining behind my closed lids.
"We're almost there."
His voice vibrated against my forehead.
"Where's there?"
"Come on, we gotta keep going."
