The devastating earthquake had wrecked Ami’s life and the past
haunted her.
Wreathed in fresh flood of tears, Ami began to sift through her
life, now mere pieces of memories. The snowball globe with the Ferris wheel had
miraculously escaped nature’s fury. The wheel, an ironical indication of what
goes up must come down.
Unable to calm her restless mind, Ami reached for her
medication. The instructions on a pack of sleeping tablets - "May Cause
Drowsiness" caught her eye.
“Sleep is the only solution,” she decided with finality,
dropping the pills one by one into the glass of water.
