"Did you take out the trash, honey?" Her mother's voice, sweet as always, sliced through the morning quiet. Sarah, still half-asleep, wanted to scream. She had *just* finished putting the dishes away, trying to keep herself occupied with something to do.

She dragged herself out of bed, the floorboards groaning under her weight. The trash can, overflowing with last night's takeout containers, was practically taunting her. She hadn't even had her coffee yet.

The crisp morning air did nothing to soothe the tension knotting in her stomach as she wrestled the heavy bag outside. The sun felt far too bright.
