     Dan had just woken up from a short night of sleep. He had gone to bed at midnight, but kept staring into the ceiling until 4am, having an existential crisis and thinking about all the times he fucked up in his life.
It was a normal night for him.

     He went to the kitchen in his small flat to get some milk and cereal. Dan lived there with some friends and all of them helped to pay the bills and clean up the house (even though that second part was done only once in a while and the flat was mainly messy).
     He ate his breakfast and went back to his room to get ready, he had a dentist appointment in an hour and didn't want to get late.

After brushing his teeth he looked at himself in the mirror and noticed his messy hair and dark circles.
"Well, let's hope the doctor doesn't think I am part of the ensemble for a British 'The Walking Dead'."   
     While he straightened his hair, he thought about how he would probably have to do that for the rest of his life, since he could never stand to have his "hobbit hair" for more than a day.
But he still hoped there would be a day when he could accept his curls and own it with pride.
Looking at the mainly black clothes in his closet he choose a simple black shirt and dark jeans, together with some black boots. He took his wallet, phone and his favorite leather jacket, and left the flat ready for his appointment.
