The Seven Deadly Sins

Sloth

My name is Aaron Locke and I am lazy

I was on my computer watching YouTube videos. I got bored after watching all the recent videos and got to watching some Twitch streams. Hours and hours go by. I get a call. It was my dad. "Hello?" I answered. "Hey Aaron. Don't forget you have an appointment with Dr. Greger." He reminded. "I know!" I whined. "Don't miss it." He warned. I hung up. Who cares about a stupid doctor's appointment. I kept watching the stream. Soon I got bored of the computer and took a nap. I woke to my phone buzzing. It was a reminder to take my medicine for my condition. I ignored it and continued to sleep. 

My father came home. The loud door woke me. "Hey." He whispered. "Did you take your medicine?" He asked. "Yes." I lied. "Did you see or call Dr. Greger?" He asked. "Yes." I lied. He quietly shut the door and once more I fell asleep. I got another reminder on my phone but I dismissed it again. I slept for a couple more hours. It was about midnight when I finally woke up. I guess I have to go take my medicine now. I went downstairs. My dad was their reading the news. "Hey, bud." He said. I smiled. I rummaged through the cabinets. It was empty. "What are you looking for?" He called out. "Just some Advil." I responded. Crap. I can't believe that it's empty. I need to take that medicine. Oh well. Maybe missing one day won't do anything. I closed the cabinet and ran upstairs. I went to my bathroom and searched the cabinets. Nothing. Great. First thing in the morning I have to go get a renew. I held the empty bottle in my hand. All of a sudden I couldn't breath. I choked air but I couldn't inhale. I fell on the floor. I blacked out. 

I opened my eyes to discover I was in my room. How did I get here? I remember being in my bathroom. I looked at my computer. It was on. Oh well, it was a freak dream. I watched videos until I was bored then I watched Twitch streams. I got a call. It was my dad. I answered it. He reminded me about the appointment. Oh no. How is that possible? I hung up immediately. I checked the time. It was early afternoon. 1:30. How is this possible? I ran downstairs to see if I had my medicine. Empty. I ran but upstairs to my bathroom. There wasn't a bottle. Oh no. I lost my breath again. I was dizzy. I fell on the floor. I blacked out.

When I opened my eyes I was sitting at my computer. It was 1:30. My phone rang. I didn't answer. It was just my dad calling to remind me again. I ran downstairs. I frantically searched all the medicine cabinets. My medicine was empty. I rummaged through my bathroom cabinet. No bottle. Old bottles. Empty bottles. I couldn't breath. I was losing my breath. I tried to drink water but I coughed it back up. No. This can't be happening. I wheezed. I couldn't catch my breath. No matter how hard I tried. I was getting dizzy. I fell on the floor again. I blacked out. 

I woke up in my room. My computer on. It was 1:30. My phone rang. It was my dad. I ran downstairs. No medicine. I don't know why I checked my bathroom. I guess I had hope. It was empty hope because there was no medicine. I started to lose my breath. I was stuck in a loop.
