“Well next time dont scare us like that”
I am laying on the couch staring up at my parents I don’t remember them coming in, the blanket is at my feet, my phone is by side. They have grocery bags in their hands
“Are you okay?”
Am I okay? It’s been 32 hours since I slept not for the lack of trying. I don’t remember how I got to the couch. My parents are staring at me and I realize I never answered them.
For a second unbidden a thought rises
Are these really my parents?
Yeah I really need to get some sleep
