Everything written after 2am and tagged apartment.
the vacuum only runs at 11am. one entry in the app. tonight it woke me going down the hall at three, straight to a door it usually just passes.
the baby next door cries most nights around two. it used to wreck me. i'm trying to figure out when it stopped meaning anything.
The motion sensor in my hallway should only trigger when something moves. After 2am, it won't stop.
I'm always the last one in the building's laundry room at two a.m. Tonight a basket of warm towels was already there.
i take the stairs at night now, and somewhere this year i started saying goodnight to the building on the way up.
I've lived in this apartment four years, but at two in the morning it still feels borrowed, like somewhere I'm only staying.
The walk from my room to the bathroom feels like it takes more steps after 2am. I've started counting.
