POUNDING, THAT'S WHAT Paulaphysicallyfelt. It was a physical sensation, relentless and rhythmically echoing in her skull like a ceaseless drumbeat. A drum that beat on and on, reverberating through her mind with a tenacity that was as unwavering as it was merciless.
Exhausted. That's what she felt no matter what. She felt an overwhelming sense of exhaustion, which left her drained and fatigued in every aspect of her life. too exhausted to engage in even the most basic activities, eating, attending school, or conversing with others, sometimes even smoking.
Yet, paradoxically, she continued to smoke. the brief respite it offered from her relentless fatigue and the ceaseless pounding in her head was a balm she found hard to resist.
