A Day Sick
A Day Sick
Cough...Cough. I wake up in bed to the unpleasant sound of hearing myself cough and to the dreadful feeling of being sick. But hey, at least I got to skip school. I use all my energy to get out of bed (which nearly took me a minute), and I made scrambled eggs, which turned out to taste as bad as someone’s vomit. After eating my unappetizing breakfast that made me feel worse, I decided to check my temperature. It read: 101.6 Fahrenheit. “Well-- no progress from yesterday”. I sadly said to myself. To make me more remorseful, sweat drips down my face, and I could tell I was exhausted and severely sick. I used to think it was really fun to stay home, but this! This was torture! This was as bad as the Nazis and the Holocaust! I felt like I was trying to stab and kill myself, but I wouldn’t die. I was completely miserable. Since I felt horrendous, I decided to cheer myself up by playing Madden Mobile. Again. The sweat comes. I picked up the IPad and abruptly sweat pours down my face like a roaring Waterfall. My head was almost like a source of water, I was sweating through the pain of picking up the immense IPad. “Time to give up and sleep again...” I pessimistically thought to myself after my failure of playing on the IPad. Everything I touched or I tried turned into trouble. I decided to sleep, hopefully I wouldn’t constantly sweat by resting. I duck under the covers of my cozy bed, praying to have a beneficial sleep that would cure my everlasting fatigue. I close my eyes, and fall asleep, dreaming about what was happening in school without me. After a while, I hear a distinct call, “Akshay… Akshay… AKSHAY! There’s sweat all over the place!”. It just couldn’t seem to get out…
