That Other Me (2015)
“What did the doctor say?”
I prop myself up on the pillow. That’s enough of an invitation for Tammy, a first-year student and one of my two flatmates, to tiptoe into the room and settle at one end of the bed. The curtains are drawn and the room is dim, bathed in the cool blue of morning light. Still, I spot the inquisitiveness in her impish eyes. She senses there’s more to the story I made up after arriving at the sakan just before midnight last night.
“The doctor says it must be some virus,” I ...say, and pat my head, which is slightly warm. I suspect that the injection he gave me triggered an allergic reaction. “It might be contagious,” I add, hoping this will make her go away.
Tammy acts as though she’s immune to germs. “How could it be that you fell asleep in the library? And doesn’t the staff check to make sure no student is left behind before locking up?”
“I really don’t know, Tammy. But when I woke up, I realized I was in a corner that could easily have been overlooked.”MoreLess
