The Adventures Of The Midnight Hours
For those precious few awake at midnight
Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. It’s my favourite time of the day.
It really is the best time of the day and most people don’t even know it happens every night, as midnight strikes. Oh, what they are missing out on!
It’s so much my favourite time of the day, that I have a standard alarm set on my phone to wake me every night at fifteen minutes to midnight. When that alarm goes off I dive out of bed and turn my eyes to the sky.
It’s my secret and I don’t tell too many people. Why should I? They don’t even know they are missing out so I won’t spoil their boring ants-like existence that they lead.
Most people I know think I’m the weird one. The one who has a standing bed time of 3 o’clock in the afternoon — they don’t realise that’s so I can be awake before midnight and that I get to live the best hours of my life, in those hours after midnight.
They have so many questions about my life and the ‘crazy’ hours I keep — in their mind it’s all crazy — but I just laugh at their questions and don’t bother responding. I like being thought of as crazy.
