4 am club

Who else left or got left out besides me?

The 4 am club seemed cool when I heard about it, but being in it for years now without a captivated audience hanging on every word I say, the allure has really worn off. I wouldn't mind a whole night of sleep the way other sleepers have. I imagine some people are still out here just living their regular old lives. From like before the pandemic, before people were being snatched up out of their homes and extradited, extrajudicial renditions. Before stealing away children and murdering people in the streets. People sleep through the night now the same as they did five, ten years ago, insisting that nothing's happening. Insisting that the problem is me mentioning problems.
