Put Yourself To Bed

She had a grim look on her face. She didn't feel so well, and it was late. Without even realizing how much time had gone by since she sat down at the computer, she now was tired in addition to not feeling well.

You don't take good care of yourself, her friend told her. You should go to bed.

I will, but I have some things I have to do, she said.

Well do them, her friend responded.

I need to write something. It has been too long. I need to write just a little something. I have some notes, here. See?

She held up some pieces of wrinkled white paper with scribbled notes running in different directions. There was a coffee stain on one. Another had a big 'X' drawn thru it.

Well write something, then. Anything. Copy down one of those scribbled notes.

It's not that easy, she said. Then she coughed loudly.

There was a pause in the room. She sat in her chair staring at her keyboard. Her friend stood silently looking at her.

Just write something down and go to bed.

Ok.

And that was that.
