Cloud.

Lots of them.

Lay was laying out in an open field of freshly cut green grass.He was watching the clouds in the sky as they went by.He didnt know how long he had been out there but he didnt care , all he knew was that it was relaxing.He felt blissful.His wife wasnt there nor his relatives.No one to disturb his peaceful nap.He yawned stretching his back. He drifted off into peaceful slumber.

lay.

His sleep was peaceful and quiet.No one could bother him.He was in the shadow of a tree covering from the hot sun.The clouds had disappeared from the sky and the heat was scorching hot but he didnt mind because he was relaxing.

He took out his pills from the medicine cabinet drowning it down with a beer and throwing a cigar up to his lips.He came out of the hallway to the living room to see 3 screaming kids all under the age of 5 running around foolishly shouting uncle.he kicked them off of his legs grabbing his beer in his hand.

“Lay, you know you cant smoke
