Going Home

I'm going to be discharged today. Doctor Maxwell had finally signed my discharge papers. I was glad that I'm finally going home, even if a part of me knew that starting my life all over again won't be easy. There's the governor's wife, which I have to deal with. She's not the only one on the list of people who wanted me dead. I have a fairly large amount of enemies to deal with. But for the moment, I have to focus on my health and recover as fast as I can. So when the time comes, I could face my enemy's head on.

"Alexandria?" I looked up and found Doctor Max entering from the door. "I knocked, but you didn't respond, so I entered, thinking you were asleep."

I must be so preoccupied with my thoughts that I haven't heard the knock.
