Sun rays shimmered through my windows
I squirmed my eyes in irritation
Fluttering my eyelids as I woke up
I felt a stinging pain piercing
As I stared into the mirror
I couldn't recognize myself for a moment
Swollen bloodshot eyes
Faint stains of tears covering my face and hands
I froze in my tracks
Deep in my thoughts, I wondered..
"When is this terrible story going to end?"
