I’ve worked hard all week
From the papaya dawn
To mauve dusk
Counting the days
Till I get on that flight
Jumping in and out the shower
Crawling in and out of the bed
Rinse and repeat
Counting the days
Till I get on that flight
About time I’ve had a day off
Sitting in the bed
The sun’s on my face
Counting the days
Till I get on that flight
The itineraries in my head
The maps on my phone
Drink in my lap
Counting the days
Till I get on that flight
And here I am
Making sure everything is fine
Don't want anything to go wrong
Counting the days
Till I get on that flight

Diabolical Dealing
Charlene Lind found herself at the home of her therapist, Dr. Alexandra Vech, who she had been seeing for a week. What was supposed to be a session ended up becoming a desperate plea of help from Charlene as she was suddenly losing consciousness. She was cognizant enough to know that she had only a minute left until she would be out like a light.
