Walls - 100 words

I couldn't really think of a title I wanted. It's been a while longer than it should have been, eh? I look at the prompt every week. I didn't realize so many weeks had gone by. I didn't really do anything radical or brave, but just writing is a radical change for me. This week's 100 Words prompt is 'Walls'. Check it out here.

Just once, I don’t want to wake to the smell of the damp on the ceiling, the sight of my crumbling walls and the sound of my neighbours fucking next door.

I want to wake up on top of the world. I want to wake up to clear skies, a gentle breeze and soothing birdsong. I want to wrap my clean duvet around me and look out over canyons and streams. Spend the day drinking red wine and expensive tea.

Nobody cat-calling me as I walk to work. Nobody watching me and criticizing.

I want to feel alone, just once.
