"Fucking shit" i sigh as I turn to my alarm clock 8:52 my shift starts at nine.
If you had asked me a year ago if I find working in a library stressful I would have laughed at you. It's a library I would have said how hard could it be. I stumble out of bed nocking out Salem in the process his meow of annoyance alerting me of his presence. "Sorry Salem" 8:53 "oh Salem I should just call in late and lay in bed all day with you hmm. I roll my eyes at the cat who ignores me and walks over to his food bowl his only concern being the kibble. I refill his kibble and chuck some clothes on. A pair of black pinstripe trousers and my black work Top. The top has the library's logo and a name tag that say hey I'm Thea talk to me. Please don't talk to me was what I want it to say. Putting my shoes of and walking the bathroom to sort my bed hair out. I brush my brown hair, a creak of the door alerts me that Salem has come to say hello, he jumps up to the edge of the bath purring at me in interest and curiosity. "Yes Salem I know I shouldn't have given myself bangs last night" I stare at the bangs that was one the same length as the rest of my brown hair I'd never been aloud to cut it myself in the red room. I'd had a nightmare last night, a memory from when the doctors had held me down and cut my hair to my shoulders, every girl had been given the same. In the three years Since the it now sits at my mid back and up until last night was all the same length. I brush my hair and put on a quick brushing of makeup. I turn to my clock 9:05 I panic and rush out the door giving Salem one last stroke.
