It felt like years had passed since Janice was out of
bed. This cold had really wiped her out
and two weeks later she was finally starting to feel the urge to get up and
move around. It was almost 11am when she
padded down the hallway. She opened the
fridge and saw nothing edible inside. Maybe
a walk down to the store would do her some good. It was only a short distance and she suddenly
felt the need to be outdoors. She
gathered some clothes and turned the water on.
A nice hot shower really perked her up.
She dressed and pulled her hair back into a ponytail. As she sat down to put on her shoes, she
almost felt normal. She grabbed her
keys, some money and opened the door.
The sunlight blasted her in the face and she cringed, blindly grabbing
her sunglasses off their hook by the door.
She put them on and walked out into the bright light. She watched as people drove by going about
their business oblivious to her two week absence. The air was cool and pleasant as she walked
along realizing that even though her world had been in limbo, everybody else
had moved on around her.
