- MY YEAR OF REST AND RELAXATION
- After the funeral, the narrator donated everything in her apartment, cut off all connections with the people around her, and locked herself in her apartment. A trusted acquaintancebrought her food and other needs during this four month period. She slept most of this time in order to be reborn after the remaining months of her year of rest and relaxation.
- Hey, I'm really worried about you. Anyway, I think my mom is going to die soon and I don't know what to do. You should really appreciate your life more. I love you.-Your Best Friend,Reva
- Please go away, Reva. I can't do this today.

- Dr. Tuttle: So you've been having trouble sleeping lately? I can prescribe you a higher dose of your sleeping meds.
- I can't believe she's falling for this... I've been complaining about my insomnia during every single appointment so far.
- That would be really helpful, thank you.
- I'm so heartbroken. I can't believe my mom passed away.
- I really don't care, but Reva needs me right now or whatever...
- Wow, I can't believe that worked. I am so much happier now and I see so much potential in my future. I wonder how Reva is doing at her new job in the World Trade Center...
