((Hello everyone! I hope I do well....and don't get offed in the near future.:sweat: ))
Rosemary sat bolt upright in her bed, sheets twisted around her legs and clothes drenched in cold sweat.another nightmare.they had been happening more and more often lately, though she'd had them her whole life.the darkness, the shadowed figure...she could never remember the rest.she only knew that when she woke up, she was always terrified.the nightmares had bern so frequent lately, she had started to develop signs of insomnia, and stopped eating.she looked at the clock and realized it was almost time for work."damn...better get ready." She mumbled.fifteen minutes later, Rosemary was showered and dressed, and eating an apple on her way out the door.she hopped onto her motorcycle- her pride and joy, a gift to herself when she had earned enough money from working- and sped off to the restaurant. Once there she was bombarded with orders and set off to deliver them immediately. It was tough going at first, but by 11 o'clock things had slowed down.she had time to enjoy a soda and a fortune cookie while she waited for the next delivery call.after eating the cookie, she looked at the fortune.someone had once told her to respect the fortune, that the cookie never lied.she didn't believe it, but she always took the advice it gave anyway.she had her headphones in, as usual, and was listening to a soundtrack from .hack//sign titled "in your mind" when she read the words on the tiny paper.it seemed like a sign, as if reading the words summoned a voice from her nightmares that spoke the words to her."this life is a game, in which we all must play." Was all it said.Rosemary gave an involuntarily shudder and pocketed the fortune.her boss was yelling at her to make another delivery, anyway.
