From the moment she woke, Laura's energy was gone. Simple activities, like brushing her teeth, had been performed at an absurdly slow pace. She had the distinct feeling of being anchored to the floor. The drive to the therapist's office had been a silent struggle against the overwhelming desire to simply curl up and sleep.

“Laura? Right on time!” he said, with an unnerving cheerfulness.
