Moving On

The sound of voices in the corridor outside woke me up. I forced myself to go back to sleep but the hustle and bustle outside my door made it impossible to do so. Most of the tenants are hardworking employees so it's not surprising that everyone is up at this hour.

I let go a deep sigh. My body wanted to just lie down on the bed with my eyes closed but with the noise outside, going back to sleep would be impossibly hard to do now.

I might as well get up now. Lazying on the bed would be no good.

With half-open eyelids, I glanced at the wall clock and saw that it was already past seven in the morning. The last sign of sleepiness escaped my body and I jerked up from the bed. It's Monday today! I still had to go to the morgue and prepare for my mom's funeral. Then I needed to go to the office afterwards.
