Assignment 20: Right Now


At this very moment, somewhere in the universe, there are people. Somewhere in this universe these people are sound asleep and somewhere in this universe it is 2 in the morning.  Somewhere, in this spacious universe, people are dreaming. These dreams are being taken advantage of somewhere in this universe and, somewhere in this universe, people will awaken and these dreams will be forgotten. Somewhere in this universe people have yet to slip into their slumber and somewhere in this universe it is 2 in the morning all the same. Somewhere in this universe people will not sleep. Somewhere in this universe people will not dream even though somewhere in this universe all one needs is a dream and even though somewhere in this universe all one needs is sleep. Somewhere in this universe someone is hopeless and wide awake but somewhere in this God forsaken universe someone is full of hope and sound asleep and somewhere in this universe life isn’t fair but somewhere in this universe someone will realize that not everything is fair and, although this is true, somewhere in the universe someone will keep going. Because somewhere, sometime in this universe—maybe not at this very moment but soon, always soon, they will find hope and they will find sleep and they will find dreams. And somewhere in the universe it will be worth it.
