On the twenty-seventh day, I woke up in the hospital. 

"Ah, you're awake." 

"Where am I?"

"The hospital."

"Why?"

"You overdosed on pills. You gave us quite a scare."

He chuckled, all casual. It was like he was talking about a trip through a haunted house, not a suicide. 

I didn't find it very funny.

"Why?"

"You could have died."

"So?"

"Do you not care if you die, Miss?"

"No."

"I see. What kind of mood are you in?"

I looked at the doctor for a moment.

"No mood. I'm just kind of tired is all."

"Not getting enough sleep?"

"I sleep all the time."

"And you're still tired?"

I paused for replying.

"Yes."
