I wake up to the sound of my alarm singing an Ariana song. I am so tired I think I only got three hours of sleep last night. Should I play hookie and get out of school? Or not and preserve the day?, I think to myself. I finally conclude with sticking it out and falling asleep at 4:00 this afternoon. I get to school and all I can think is why? Did I decide to do this? I barely get through first period without falling asleep. Five more periods to go! By the end of the day I was so tired I couldn't even think. I wake up at two this morning and am literally wide awake. So I start to draw this flower. Then I realized it's a daisy. Then I start to draw every flower seen from the human eye from daffodils to sunflowers to hibiscus. I decide I can't use just plain ordinary colors so I do the exact opposite of what you would normally use for a color.

By the time I am done it is four in the morning. Two more hours till I am supposed to be awake, I think. What can I do for two hours. I begin to imagine another inspiring short story. I am thinking a girl named Lisa battles a foot disease.

Lisa and the miracle

Sarah gets that far and then gets writers block.
