As I finished my tea and headed up to bed, the bitter, almond taste from the tea lingered in my mouth. The conversation with my landlady had set me on edge ever so slightly and the creaking of the floor boards that echoed through the house rang in the back of my brain, slowly creeping closer to my room. I dismiss the feeling and slip into my linen pajama set. The fabric slides across my body and a pain aches through my body, travelling all the way to my head. The almond taste stings on my tongue and I lie down to try relieve the discomfort circulating through my muscles. The world suddenly becomes fuzzy and my eyelids droop over my eyes. The last thing I see is my landlady’s gentle blue eyes and warm smile stride into my room and then nothing.
