“Nothing to do”

Every time they ask me 

“What did you do today?”

Most of the time, I always answer with 

“Nothing”

But in reality, 

I did everything

I started my day by waking up late

I was lying down on my bed 

Scrolling through my phone

For about 2 hours

Doing “nothing”

Then I got up

Went to the kitchen and

Made myself some lunch

But I was still 

Doing “nothing” 

I ate my lunch

And I did the dishes

After finishing the dishes 

I took a shower

And went back to lying on my bed

I took a long nap

But I was still 

Doing “nothing” 

I woke up from my nap

And got tired of doing “nothing”

So I decided to do more of the nothingness

I got up from my bed and made myself some popcorn

I started watching a romcom movie

I finished my movie, and suddenly

I realized that

The day was over

I  had spent 

My whole day

Doing “nothing”

But maybe “nothing”

Was exactly what I needed

Spooky Story

  While sitting in the living room of our Air BnBb at the Haunted Urban Legend site, our friend, Luke, was telling the legend. That if you went outside or said “Hookman” after dark, he would come and get you. You would disappear and no one would ever see or hear from you again. I then looked at the time. 11:02. I looked outside. Pitch black. Luke just said his name. We all sat there in fear, and then everyone but Luke slowly got up. Luke looked at us all and said, “No. Please don’t leave me behind.” We then heard banging coming from the screen door. We all ran to our rooms and listened as Luke screamed and cried and thrashed while being drug to who knows where. I don’t remember how long it took for me to fall asleep, but I know around 12:35 everyone came to my room to sleep. And when we woke up, Luke was gone. The living room was trashed. Blood smeared the floors. I walked to the kitchen to get cleaning supplies and there it was. Luke’s right hand. That Hookman cut off to represent his own right hand being cut off.
