ohmygod

she woke up to the songs of the birds, kicked away her comforter and stretched out her body like a cat. she walked towards the window, all the while smiling to herself, and deep in the heart of her happy little soul. peering out her bedroom window, she sees two yellow birds belting out unknown love tunes to each other. how sweet, she thought.

as she walks pass her full length mirror, she sees the reflection of a messy-haired girl in a notoriously skimpy night gown looking back at her. again, she smiled, took her bathrobe and towel off the towel rack and drew herself a warm, soothing, 8am morning bath. as she waits for her bath tub to fill up, she went to the kitchen and boiled some water in the electric kettle. some warm chocolate and cookies would be perfect for breakfast, she whispered to herself.

she stood in her bathrobe in front of the bathroom sink, and surveyed her plain face in the mirror. she pinned up her frayed fringe, put on her light-blue shower cap, and reached for her toothbrush, leaning closer to the mirror.

the sound of toothbrush falling into the sink, the sound of the flow of water filling up the tub, the sound of water boiling in the kettle, the beautiful sounds of birds singing. these sounds were drowned out by her sudden and earsplitting scream.

"WHY ARE THERE TWO LARGE PIMPLES ON MY NOSE?!"
