Let Me Sleep On It

Prologue

Chance. You only get one chance per lifetime. One chance to change things and make them better again. I guess you can call it a do-over. A chance to live your life over again; start anew. If I could go back, I would relive the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Mainly because I like the old times when things were simple; safe.

Florida is a somewhat simple state and for the most part, safe. I grew up there which I suppose heightens that feeling of safeness. Orlando is specifically where I grew up. There’s something about the sun and heat that comforts me. Then there’s the fact that Orlando is normal. Believe me; I prefer normal to strange any day. So I guess it took me by surprise when the day finally came when ‘strange’ started to become my life.

My name is Keita Reynolds and I am a nineteen year old college student living in Georgia and attending the University of Phoenix. I’m studying to be a doctor which has my schedule pretty tied up most of the time. My main reason for studying medicine is my parents died in a car crash when I was eight years old and I hated that I couldn’t save them. So to make up for that, I have decided to devote my life to helping other people in need of medical care.

I haven’t been on many dates because I’m average looking and in no way sexy like all those other girls who wear mini skirts that show off their legs and t-shirts so tight that if you gave them a hug, I was afraid the shirt would tear off. No, I have black hair down to my shoulder blades, dark forest green eyes, and I’m so small I could pass for a fifteen year old. So when something exciting or unexpected happens to me, I always have to be surprised.
