Reunion (chapter 1)
Reunion (chapter 1)
I stepped into the warm water. I let my body get used to the warmth before starting to wash my fur. Pouring a glob of shampoo into my paw I started to scrub myself starting with my torso, then my arms, and down my legs. Letting the water run through my fur I let out a sigh. At this time of year I was only actaully warm in the shower.
Once I was done scrubbing the shampoo from my fur I turned of the water. Stepping out of the shower, I was greeted by the cool air that filled the rest of my house. I ran across the bathroom into the blowers. Turning them on, the machines shot warm streams of air through my fur.
Once I was dry I walked back into my room and started going through my drawers looking for some clothes. I eventually found a nice suit to wear. After that was done I poured myself a cup of coffee. Walking towards the door to leave for work I tripped over my own two feet and fell into the refrigerator knocking all of the stuff hanging from frige magnets onto the ground. I bent down and started to pick up Chinese food menus,old grocery lists, other random food menus, and more random papers.
Putting the papers back onto the fridge, a colorful peice of paper. Picking it out from the group of papers I examined it. It was a birthday card for my 22 birthday, but it wasn't from my freinds or family it was from my work. Putting the card back where it was I stood up and left for work. The drive wasn't too long but it felt like hours. To end the silence in the car and to keep me from day dreaming I turned on the radio. The radio shot to life and started playing 'i wish you a merry Christmas'. Swiching through the channels I realized, all they were going to play today was Christmas music. Letting out a sigh I turned radio off.
Arriveing at the office build that I had spent most of my time at,I ran in out of the cold. Passing some buisness assosciates I waved 'hi'. They all seemed to be pissed that they had to work on christmas eve, I on the other hand didn't care. Going into the elivator I was greeted by more christmas music. I looked at my watch, it was only 8:30. letting out a sigh, with all this Christmas music and holiday spirit this was going to be a long day.
For the next nine hours I did paper work,ate lunch, then did more paper work. I didn't hate my job as most people would. For someone who just got out of college this was actually a good job. Once I was done for the day I looked at my watch, it was 5:30. Walking out of my office building I was greeted by the bitter decemeber air. Snow had fallen during the day and was still falling hard. Running across the parking lot I found my car. The drive home was quiet and depressing. Suddenly my stomach's growling broke the silence.
I stopped by a mcdonalds, just to grab something really quick. Once I was home I ate my food then watched some tv. After awhile nothing good was on so I decided to just go to bed. In my dreams was only place I felt happy, safe from the outside world. Saddly I don't have dreams alot. But tonight I was lucky, I found myself in a completely white room. There was nothing in the room but me. Suddenly a huge tv came out of the ground.
Looking around I realized that I was now in a movie theater. I chose to sit in the closest seat to me. The room got dark and the tv turned on. It showed a home video of me when I was little. I was so happy back then. Then it switched to when I was 14. I was in my room crying. That was after I had a huge fight with my mom. Ever sense that day I had never really thought of that place as a home. It was more like a prison. Then it showed me walking to school with my old group of freinds. But they weren't really my freinds, they never really cared aboute. Hell, they couldn't even see how depressed I was. The only real freind I had was Andrew but after what happened we never spoke again.
Why was I watching this? What does this all mean. I haven't thought about these things sense I went to college. Suddenly the tv showed me at college. I was at a party that I didn't even want to go to. My roomates wanted me to come. I just sat there and drank. As the years went by my depression got worse. Finally it showed me clipps from yesterday. Me waking up, going to work, and coming home and going to bed. The tv slowly went black.
"I wish you a merry Christmas!" Blasted through my ears. Jumping up I looked around. I'm in my bed, not I'm a movie theater. "Good morning everyone and a merry Christmas to all. It's now 7:20..." I stopped listening and turned the radio off. Standing up I walked over into the bathroom. Once I was done taking a shower I started to dig through my drawers when I remembered, I don't have work today. .
