"Burning the midnight garbage"
The month of April has almost eventually came to a screeching halt(well let's talk about those monthly stuff we do here tomorrow). Good morning fam! It's 2:00 o'clock in the morning here, a bit fresh a bit misty but the air isn't so pure, had a fire burning from the huge refuse disposal wasteland that's far from mh house but somehow still managed to disturb me).
There's been fire burning emitting dense black smoke which is affecting the whole neighbourhood. From time to time, some person (no one can tell if he'd been tasked with the responsibility or not) decides to incinerate garbages especially during the night-time when everyone is either sleeping or trying not to cry from the heartbreak of this world then boom! This dude sets garbages ablaze to provide more reasons for the night crier to cry since the smoke literally gets in their eyes. As an asthmatic person you can tell how this affects me on a large scale. I just couldn't have any appropriate sleep for the whole night. I buried my head inside me pillow, then buried it under, I was even considering slicing my pillow and sticking my head in between then stitch it back up(yes, that's how bad it was!). Facemasks would be of little help so I sacrificed my supply of fresh air from the outside by closing the door. Again, I could sleep because of the heat and was at the verge of yanking ar my hair and scratching off my skin when suddenly my hopes were lifted when the power was restored. Turned out it was a prank as they took it 10 minutes after they brought the power back. In a distraught state of mind I looked at my sister with whom I share a bed, sleeping peacefully and soundly, same applies to every other person in the house too as I seemed to be the only one being bothered by the smoke. I felt jealous and started contemplating the possibility of my lack of deep sleep being a curse to me. You could literally put my sister in a sack, stitch it up and take it away without her knowing that she was put in a sack, that's how deep she sleeps. I myself used to be a heavy sleeper but all that changed when I started attending a boarding house and I haven't been able to go back, not that I want to but it is kind of unfair to not be able to do so on demand or when you need it the most.
I got up from bed and out my room, I unbolted the gate to take a peek outside : the fire was still burning. To be just, it's not like the person did a bad thing by burning the garbages,perhaps that's his job but I also think something should be done as it affects people. Smoke is a choking hazard remember. Maybe he thought that more people will get affected if he burns the garbage during the day than if he does in the night since everyone goes about their daily activities during the daytime. He's destroying the environment more than he's helping it. It wouldn't come as a surprise to me if I am the only one that's being bothered about some garbage burning midnight spree, the thought of this made me a bit sad.
"What more can I do, Imma just go through my phone and study for an hour" so I went through my notifications and drop tips as my eyes are now clouded because of the smoke, they will ache if I attempt to read anything for long. Oh fun fact : I couldn't study and now I know not what to do. I am not in mood to play movies or games on my phone, besides games won't be fun on my phone anymore because of the now faulty sensor so imma just listen to some music. Music sometimes sedate me so I really hope for it to have that effect on me soon. I have switched it on now!
Thanks for reading nd see you late morning!
Yours Layly,
