Her Routine with a Twist

I woke up with a sense of loss, I quickly found out that everything was real: the fire destroyed all of my things. The day started like everyday, I got up, I brushed my teeth and combed my hair. I walked down the stairs, I kissed my husband on the cheek and he looked at me with a sleepy face. Normally, I would open the cereal box and pour it with a little bit of milk in the small squared bowl I love, but for some reason I decided to make toasted bread, and that was my huge mistake.

I turned on the toaster and started cutting slices of bread. I never thought fire could start so easily. First, I felt a different smell, I wondered what was happening, but I couldn’t react fast enough. My normal routine would’ve continued with “I put on my skirt and I headed to work”, but we all know it didn’t happen. I woke up in the Hospital covered in white bandage. By that time I would’ve been saying something like “I normally have lunch with Claudia, my best friend”. She’s next to me having lunch now, but she doesn’t have her normal happy face.

Where’s my husband?
