The Mirror
The alarm chimes. It is a sweet and melodic sound echoing out of her cellphone, it’s gets louder but she ignores it. In the bed, she is safe, no worldly possessions or none of life’s problems. Just dreaming of a peaceful, and serene life by the beach. A party starts up nearby and she is absorbed by bumping music and happy people living their best lives. She feels comforted by the beach waves. She is laughing with the locals while sipping on maitais and thinking nothing of her stuffy bedroom.. A vacation, something she desperately needs, but alas is too broke to afford. She sadly wakes up and takes in her surroundings. Her tiny bed, surrounded by a mess of clothes that need folding. She stretches her tired limbs and looks in the mirror at the bags under her eyes, showing an overworked young woman.
