"Lily, I'm sorry just can't afford to stay in business anymore, let me know if you need a reference" Those words just kept ringing in my ears as I walked down the cold, dreary Seattle streets tripping over heels I can barely walk in, a skirt too tight(but that's what office people wear right?) with a box of useless office tools and a half-dead plant that pretty much represented my life at the moment. As much as I wanted to literally wake up and quit my job everyday, it got the bills paid and had what I thought was security. "Pft how silly of me to think it was working out ok " At this moment, my life just sucked, I don't even have a hot, sexy boyfriend to curl up and cry on. That thought just made me a little bit sadder.
I got back to my drab apartment to see the place as lifeless as outside. Grey walls, grey couch, grey bed and a window with a grey view. "Ha" I thought. I went to the bathroom to grab a towel to dry my hair which was dripping across my face. I stared at the reflection looking back at me. My chocolate brown hair-boring, green eyes- meh, my white skin almost like a porcelain doll, just made me look like a ghost was staring back at me. Reminded me how I was teased for liking like a vampire as a child, I hated living in a culture where tan skin was most beautiful. I left my wet work clothing on went straight to my bed and wrapped myself up in my comforter, the only thing that even gave me the slightest bit of happiness. Why couldn't I have the life everyone else seems to have? I thought back to my family in New York, maybe I should have stayed. Nah, I couldn't, as much as I love my family, the thought of coming back to the anxiety made me shutter. Being states away helped the pain, but here I am in my grey little apartment, no friends, no boyfriend, and now no job.
I tightened the comforter around me, where is my fairy godmother when I need her? Why couldn't I just wake up in a fantasy world with a sexy man and live a life of adventure? I wish. My eyes got heavy as I looked towards to window. A suddenly flash of light went across it, but I wasn't shocked. Maybe it's lightning, I don't care anymore. I'm just going to enter the sweet world of dream and hope I never wake up again, at least that what I thought was going to happen. That little wish of mine was about to bite me straight in the ass.
