isolation

[asterroc]

There is rain outside. I can hear the water pouring down off the gutter of the condo/house next door. My bedroom is heated and warm, the only lights are its glowing on/off switch and the computer. I can almost feel like I'm the only one in the world, like nothing beyond this room and the sound of water exists. If I peeked between the slats of the wooden shades I would see only gray fog. It's a comforting thought, like when I realize that with all the billions of stars we are just tiny specks the universe doesn't care about.
