I lost myself in my own thoughts and couldn’t remember how long it took for me to finally fall asleep.
When I woke up to the bright morning sunshine, I let out a long sigh as I slid from bed and made my way towards the bathroom.
I was in for another long day of doing nothing.
A soft knock on the door drew my attention, and I watched as one of the maids brought in a small tray of fresh fruits, pastries, juice, and coffee.
Breakfast time. The same revolving routines make me feel more robotic than alive.
“Thank you, Sara,” I said to the young woman, who bowed her head to me and turned, her blond curls bouncing upon her head as she left without a word. She had been the one who brought me my food the last few days, and even though she didn’t speak, it made me smile to think I had someone here.
Brushing my hair I decided on a long white cotton dress to lay around in for the day. After all, I wasn’t going anywhere– I wasn’t allowed to.
