I'm just tired, I guess

written by: Austin Potter

@tapesandtubes

Late at night, he'd think about himself and his behavior when he was younger. Was there something that he’d forgotten? It seemed that every time he’d think back on days gone by – something would always slip his mind and was soon replaced with some sort of half-hearted regret. Embarrassment, discomfort and sadness were all that he could invoke from his memory.

“What’s wrong with you?” his wife asked.
–Startled, he raised his head. “Nothing,” he replied. "Nothing’s wrong with me. I’m just tired, I guess."

Doug Stanfield (Hemmingplay)

“Hemmingplay,” is the pen name of Doug Stanfield, who grew up on a family farm in western Ohio, went with his parents for two years in Karachi, Pakistan, in high school and had lived, until recently, in Bellefonte, PA with his late wife, Wilda and their two sons, Ben and John. Doug was a writer, editor and director of internet communications at Penn State for 26 years. He has had a few disreputable occupations, including newspaper reporter and editor, and public relations flak, but is trying to make amends for his sins by writing poetry and fiction. When his sons were safely off making their own mistakes, he turned on the computer one day, stared at the screen, and began to learn the craft anew at age 67. Doug has published three books: "Mermaid Sisters: First Dive", a children's book; "I Came From A Place of Fireflies" and, "Snowflakes & Ashes: Meditations on the Temporary”.
