Congratulations, on placing in Brian’s “Twenty & Five” contest. Hum, "frozen laughter"!!! What a great description of midnight awakening. Excellent! Dane Ann

Good write Jim,,,glad that you like the old outhouse..the last line was true..thanks Danny

Guess night is when our minds are most open to the demons. I can relate to the feelings you describe. Those things we choose consciously to block from our thoughts throughout the day push their way into our minds, adding distractions that prevent sleep. Very well written, Jim. Don't know how I missed this one earlier. Love, Carolyn

Very impactful last couple of lines. I didn't expect that from the title so that was a pleasant surprise. Congratulations on your third place win.
