Chapter 12 : Dayna Leah Wilson P.O.V.-

Blink blink blink.

I open my eyes to the familiarly designed ceiling in my bedroom. I yawn.

'What a wonderful way to start today.' I think to myself as I sit on my bed, my clothes from yesterday crumbled up from moving around in bed– hold up! I don't even remember coming into my room yesterday. I must be really really tired then, to not even remembering that I climbed into bed with my outside clothes on. That's what being a doctor can do to a person.

This reminded me of my first week of residency at Melon, it was so hectic that sleep, hunger and a break was a luxury that we could not earn despite what we did. It's simply how first year students' experiences are.

Eye bags were bigger than bank saving and the undone overflowing laundry baskets back then. Things have change now four years later for the better, but obviously nothing could compare to the torturous love we students dedicated to our work.

Medical students are magicians I tell you! Freaking wonders of the world!!

That sleep I just came out from was so great I just flat out blanked out the entire night. As in no dreams, or maybe I did have something but I just don't remember anymore. My past self would be so jealous of right now, she would want to punch me. When was the last time I did that for myself? I cannot remember.

My muscles feel so comforted by the softness of the bed, like I never want to get out of the comfort it surrounds me with.
You know a day where everything feels just right, and just so perfect? Like life is finally going the way you want it to. You feelin' that? That's what this feels like.

But major spoiler alert, everything in fact isn't so great and your life is probably a bigger mess, the sad part is that the feeling only lasts for what feels like a second. The time frame is so short that it's almost euphoric. But that's not the saddest part yet...

I feel like I'm forgetting something important but my stomach rumbles in hunger cue to the thought. Thinking after breakfast then, I decide.

I tumble out of bed, grudgingly put on my comfy slippers and move into my temporarily lavish bathroom with the fancy facets and the sauna-style bathtub. The lights really hit my eyeballs making everything so freaking bright, and I have to scrunch my eyes for some time to let myself adjust to the assault all of the illumination. I look around for my brush and the toothpaste and find it laying around in its cup holder, I brush my teeth blindly still half-asleep.

When I finally get to look myself in the mirror, I get greeted by my reflection that's made up of the infamous bed hair (and not even the sexy way) and the drool mark down my chin. My baby pink dress from yesterday spotted with lots of red dots.....what? I lean in and smell one only to recoil away from the revolting smell of dried old blood.
