Smiley Face, by Mark Tulin
At bedtime, I put on the mask and pull the straps to make it snug.
“I hope you won’t leak air this time so I can wake up to a smiley face on your display,” I say.
She’s always quiet.
I change her filter and make sure that she’s plugged in.
“Ready?” I ask in a muffled voice.
I push her button and instantly feel her misty, scentless air pacify me. My throat opens like a sacred lotus flower. Particles of distilled water keep my head clear. And, before long, uninterrupted sleep enters my subconscious all the way to dreamland.


Whoa.
I know. 🙂
Who’d have every thunk it, an Ode to a CPAP nap and app. You have a terrific imagination, this is great 🙂 The Five Lotus Flower Award goes to you!
I gratefully receive the reward, Robert.
Oh that’s sweet! Makes me sleepy. LOL! 🙂
