Each Autumn, my body starts to shut down, viral symptoms plague me, forcing me to rest, daring me to try to live, full flu symptoms floating over me, If I allow it to take hold it will take me down. Rests calls, drawing me to my bed, the in between world seeping through me. The urge to sleep grows, I wake and get up only to fall back into sleep.
My body shrinks, seeking warmth, the cold air swallowing me with aches and pains combined. General stiffness over rides, the air cloys at my throat closing it in. the very air I breathe shutting me down. My mind whirls like a vacuum, no thoughts make it through other than the call of sleep, sleep, sleep.
And then there is……….
Nothing!
Bring on the spring!
