Fiction with A Ridiculous Premise

Being 40

       Christmas, 2014, I was drunk at yesterday night.

I could not open my eye on every morning, but today, I can sleep nature to wake. However, the things surround me are strange that I have never seen them before. I realize that I am sleeping in a ramshackle room, which has an awful smell makes me feel sick.

“What’s going on?”

I really don’t know. I just remember I failed my professional exam yesterday. Now, the only idea in my mind is that I want to escape from there.

When I look at myself in the mirror, I discover that I am not the young girl anymore. I look like much older than before!

Picking up the newspaper near my hands. It’s 2024. 

 “Oh my god!” I stand in the front of the mirror quaking with fear. I tell to myself that I should calm down, but it still cannot stop my quaking.

I, 40 years old, dress in rags, look at myself in the mirror as if looking at a strange woman. The surroundings are mess and dirty.

“Why my situation is so bad?” I have lost myself in thought.

It is the most horrible horrible horrible thing I have met. And I feel regret that I was not hardworking at 20.
