Mommy!!!

You're dead!.. or not.

That's the sound of your neighbor's kid running around your building shrieking. Mooommmyyy!!!

How many times do you have to jump out of bed because you are certain your recently single, single mother of two, is dead?

Well guess what? She's not. Her kids, however, are emotionally dead. Murderous screams are not fit for playtime.

Anxious sleep. It's the new frontier of anxiousness.

Because I know that I will never know whether or not my neighbor is dead.
