5 am.
It was a time where most people would be curled up in bed nice and warm, not even thinking about waking up or the coming day. Sun light was just being to creep through the curtains echoing the start of a new day.
The sandman was a fickle and uncaring soul to those he didn't favor. Sleep hadn't come for Travis that night like on so many others. Recently they were becoming less frequent, much to his delight he was now getting 5 hours sleep most nights. His life times best since the insomnia started, but equally what they lacked in frequency they made up for with their shear force. Not even the medical drugs, a horrible concoction he would force himself to take on these occasions helped. It was just and another bitter pill he had to swallow. The medicine he hated and that caused he death of any happy mood he had no effect.
Through red, rough, eyes he saw the world, every blink or movement of his eyes would sting. With heavy limbs and aching joints he slowly clambered into his wet suit. And so started another ritual that was almost a frequent as his insomnia .
" AHHHH ACCURSED THING! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO HARD TO GET INTO... TO."
He knew shouting abuse at an inanimate object with no free will was stupid, it was not as if the piece of cloth would magically bend to his will and become easier to get into to. It also didn't really make up for the terrible mood he was in thanks to an extra seven hours lying awake staring at the ceiling with your eyes wide open.
"The surf better be good today."
Out side it was a beautiful, glorious morning. The sun rises had crafted the sky into mixture of orange , red and very pale purple. Even though it was morning and there was cooling ocean breeze you could just feel it was going to a hot day . To top it all off the waves were good for once .
He walked off the door steps of hisd home, down a few flights of stairs and on to the fresh sand which he curled in around his feet. Travis stared out over the crashing waves as he prepared his board.
"Who needs sleep when you've got this."
