She felt a slight dryness in her mouth as she read the articles. It wasn't anger, or sadness, or any recognizable emotion. Just…a dryness. A feeling that could be assuaged with a glass of water.

She took a long sip from her water bottle. The cool liquid ran down her throat. She then went to feed her cats, a task she performed daily. They were hungry, as they always were.

The sun began to set, casting long shadows across her apartment. She cleaned up, and then watched a show on TV. She wasn’t sure why she didn’t just turn it off and sleep.
