Blurb #1

Copyright Julia Bydulia.

I used to keep a journal just for 100 word pieces of prose (blurbs). In order to keep me writing regularly, for this week I am going to post at least a blurb a day. That's up to and including next Saturday.

I'm going to be posting them on my tumblr, as well.

Word Count: 100
Title: Sweaty, Stuck, and Miserable
---

The floor was scratchy against my back. I regretted taking off my shirt, despite the crippling heat. Through the window, the stars were winking at me. I did my best not to scream. At the stars, at the heat, at myself. At him. There was no way around it, no way over it, and no way under it. I was sweaty, stuck, and miserable with no sign of any of it letting up. That, and the night seemed unwilling to break into day. I prayed for all of it to stop. But with my luck, prayer doesn’t do much good.
