30 Day Writing Challenge - Day Twenty-Four

Prompt: "Day 24 —Write about the longest amount of time you’ve ever gone without sleeping."

It was when I was young and bushy-tailed!
    It started out with my older brother, Steven, telling me that he had just stayed up for forty-eight hours.  That amazed my young six year old brain.  Forty-eight hours?  That was like... two days or something.  So I thought I might try.  And I stayed up.  And waited.  And waited.  And you know what?  I maybe got close to twenty-two hours.  Finally I have up - I prized sleep more!  That's pretty true today too.
