6:45 AM

 I woke up, my back sore. I got up to take a burning hot shower. I accidentally set the temperature excessively high. I put on some random clothes and went down the stairs and the old raggedy sign that said ‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY’ My mother had bought it last year. I made myself some food and then left for work.  

7:30-10:00 AM

As I walked to work, I felt the cold, chilling wind slapping me in the face. During work, I got told that they would promote me.

10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

I couldn’t wait to tell my friends about this. I can’t stop working or I could lose the promotion!

12:00 PM -3:00 PM

I finally got off work.

3:30 PM - 4:00 PM

I called my friends so we could meet at a cafe. When I reached the cafe, I felt extremely nervous to see what my friends thought.

4:00 - 5:00 PM

I and my friends chatted for a while before I finally told them the good news.

“Really?! That’s amazing I’m so happy for you.”

“We should go to a club and celebrate!”

I agreed.

“Oh yeah. I haven’t seen your mom in a while, how is she doing?”

5:45 - 10:00 PM

I felt dull.

10:00The only sober friend drove each of us home.

11:50 PM

I shakily walked into my house. It was dark. I stumbled to turn on the lights. When I looked up at the ceiling, I saw my mother looking down at me from the ceiling, her dried blood still on her body.

I dropped to my knees.

“I didn’t kill her.”
