I toss and turn in the night, heart pounding, contemplating my life choices. Thinking about my day. Wondering why things don’t get better. Listening to the silence of the house, until I give up and say “Alexa, play something.”
My Alexa is a man with an Australian accent. Sometimes he gives me really good playlists, and sometimes I swear a demon took over the music choices. Especially late at night when I’m trying to recover from a nightmare.
