I woke to alarms blaring in different rooms, Half the time my husband can be found sawing logs on the living room couch as opposed to in bed with me. Tonight, by some miracle, he made it to bed, but, of course, He forgot to turn off the alarm on the Alexa. Sleep has been a fleeting dream of mine for the last few weeks, between long hours and opposing schedules I am lucky to get a few hours of shut eye an evening. On top of that what little time I do have to myself has been spent at the nursing home watching the shaky, tepid breaths of my very best friend.

The potent odor of garbage and sweat practically smacked Blithe in the face as she and her mother, Shena, walked the city street of Yusra on their way to a local spice shop. Blithe tightened her pink embroidered scarf around her nose and moved closer to her mother. The two traveled with their personal body guard Dante who lingered closely behind them. While Blithe kept her gaze mostly focused on the trash littered street below her feet her mother kept her head held high and walked with great haste.
