{warning: this is just an idea. I.d.e.a.
While writing "The Triple 'H's", I wondered if in an alternate world (meaning whatever is written here isn't happening really in "The Triple 'H's " but it's a concept I'm really curious about. What if Odile and Odette are actually somehow sharing the same soul. In two different bodies. Meaning they both have half a soul. When they're asleep, they experience what the other is experiencing. The medicines Odile has to take worsens Odette's narcolepsy which leads to Odette sleeping more often and Odile sleeping less often.)no disrespect is meant while writing but I just want readers to take away the knowledge of how scary narcolepsy is.
Also, I've been thinking like we don't even know when we'll die... Death comes unexpectedly, that thought is quite frightening and weird in a way.... :l And this is by no means a joke or meant as an insult to anyone. My own personal space and thoughts~
Character of the day: Meet Odette, A girl who has narcolepsy}

"Ready to leave?" Mum smiled happily, causing me to smile back as well."I guess so." I scrunched up my nose at the innocent hospital bed that had served me well for a week. Another test, and three 'shutdown's. That was what happened this week.
It's more frequent than my asthma, this annoying disorder of mine.
"I don't really wanna go to school." I mumble in dread as I hop into the car.
"Huh? What did you say, honey?" Mum asked distractedly as she got into the driver's seat and buckled up her seat belt.
"Nothing. Just saying how I'm looking forward to school." I stuck out my tongue cheekily and gaze out at the scenery. The flowers that lined the highway, the trees.... The world is really a beautiful place.
"... Mum please, please just stop..."
I frown in confusion, not again.....
"Odile? I'm scared." The small boy behind me bawled his eyes out as he clutch to my jeans tightly.
" Mum you're scaring us, Mum!"
Wet tears flow down my... No, Odile's cheeks and the frustration and desperation overwhelmed me.No, this is not reality. In reality, I'm on my real Mum's car, on my way to school. And this here, is the dream world. And throughout my entire life,in the dreams I dreamed, I will always be called Odile. Pretty weird... If you asked me.
" Mum, no please!!! There will be a way out! Please!!!" I plead. The 'mum' in front of me is laughing maniacally while crying and she was beating her chest with her left hand while holding onto a bottle of alcohol with her right.
" Mum!!!" I rush over and try to stop her from harming herself, vaguely aware that the two young boys have ran to the furthest corner, bawling their eyes and screaming in fear. But my attempts to restrain this woman was near impossible. With a swing, she pushes me away and the bottle of alcohol smashes to the ground.
" What else do they want from us.... What else!" 'Mum' screams and I feel my heart crack into a million pieces. Like a dagger twisting and turning in my heart.
"Odette!" An alarmed voice made my eyes open by themselves and I wince at the sudden daylight to see Mum's relieved face....
"Phew... You had another attack again." She sighed before stroking my hair tenderly and hugging me. Now I realise we reached school. Just great.... Yay.....
School... Where everyone stares at me and keeps a safe distance. Ya ya papaya, same old same old school.
"I'll be waiting for you at the foyer for your break time." Mum grinned widely.
