1.2 Torn To Pieces

I wake up bright and early, with a million things on my mind that I want to accomplish today.

 First and foremost, I need to finally beat Giovanna at chess! I sit down at the chess board by myself and ponder the moves she used on me yesterday.

My deep thoughts are interrupted by the sound of a car honking outside.

 Oh no! I'd almost forgotten that it's my first day of work today! I hastily put on some clothes and dash outside without eating even a bite of breakfast.

 Here we go, my first day working at the hospital.

When my shift is over, I am exhausted. I never enjoyed being surrounded by this many people back in school - why did I ever think that it would be any different working at a busy hospital?

 I remember my time as a self-employed writer and sigh. I really miss writing and resolve to work on my current romance novel Torn To Pieces immediately.

Jumping in a taxi, I ask the driver to take me to the local library.

 On the way to the walled city, I see a wild horse, serenely walking up the hill. I immediately think that I want to just pause and watch this majestic creature for a while, but the taxi speeds on and I have too much on my mind now to follow yet another one of my whims.

 The driver stops right in front of the library and I head inside.

 I sit down at the first computer I see. It seems to be some sort of receptionist's desk, but there's no librarian in sight and no one is complaining, so I begin to type away.

 It's not long before I get too tired to continue, however.

 Seeing as I am at a library, I decide to read a little to wind down. I grab a random book off a shelf, but as soon as I sit down, I realize that I am too sleepy to do even this right now. Plus, I reek and it's beginning to distract me.

 I head home and jump in the shower.

And then it's off to bed. I didn't accomplish any of the things I set out to do today, but I have no chance to fret about it. Absolutely exhausted, I fall asleep immediately.
