After a more restless night than usual, you find yourself sitting in front of your grandma's laptop once again—almost as if you never moved. It's like your thoughts are stuck in one place.
After seeing the request for you to write something for the local news, you couldn't go to bed without responding. It didn't take you very long to decide that your answer would be:
You accepted without hesitation, already drafting lines in your head. You could practically see your name on the front page.
Still—you would have to wait to see it published before you could know how successful your words had been.
With that decided, you stayed up for a while longer just writing, and pretty soon you had a whole piece ready to send off, containing all your thoughts about the protest, the developments, and the forest.
That done, all you had to do was wait.
