Sometimes when it’s midnight or maybe 12:30 or 1 am or even 1:30 or later (but not often), I put on my fedora and listen to some relaxing, thoughtful music and I go to get something to eat, and I walk out of my dorm and turn left to go to University Blvd and it’s quiet and just a little bit cool out and there are a few people outside but not many, and I look around at the night and my mind and heart and soul feel expansive, ready to do, and I get an urge to make something, something grand and beautiful and magnificent, something that will show to others what I am and what we are in our core, something bigger than I could possibly be, but I don’t know how or what, and now I arrive where I’m going to eat and I walk into the brightly lit building and all thought of creation is lost

I can almost hear my first grade teacher cry out in pain.

This came up--you guessed it--as I was walking to get something for dinner. I eat late fairly regularly (that is to say, almost every night), so I get the feeling described quite often. I'm not entirely sure why I wanted to make it as a run-on sentence, but when I was formulating it, I couldn't imagine it any other way. Maybe I was just trying to make a pointless, derivative concept interesting by putting it in an unusual writing style, but I hope not. Thoughts and criticism in this regard would be appreciated.

I tried to add several extra page breaks at the end of the piece to give the feeling that it was interrupted, but they didn't seem to show up when I submitted it.

I had a different way to end this that I was initially going to use. I was going to put "to wait 'til tomorrow night," and not have any page breaks at the end, but I changed my mind. The two different endings, to me, convey two completely different feelings. I'm not sure which one I prefer; both are part of what I'm trying to convey.

The run-on sentence thing works well with it, certainly. *gets that feeling sometimes*

Technically, you eat late almost every /morning/. Or early. As the case may be. *shrug*

Thank you, I'm glad to hear that it does.

That's true. I switch between saying "night" and "morning" for what is technically the early hours of the morning.
