I’ll never be your beast of bur-
I groan as I roll over to turn off the alarm. I squint at my bright phone screen screaming at me to wake up. Half asleep, I make out the clock to read 6:00 AM and collapse back onto my bed.

Cursing mornings, I abandon my sanctuary and trudge towards my bedroom door. As my bloodshot eyes emerge from the comfort of the dreams and darkness, everything comes into focus.

I spend the entire hour saying, "Cough you," in substitution for, “Bless you,” every time she coughs. Her laughter and fake judgement killed me every
