The train was about to explode so I jumped off from the side and watched it blow up down the tracks. I walked towards the hotel with a backpack, duffel bag, and white leather handbag. People stared at me while I approached the front door where a couple was trying to talk through the glass. I excused myself, walked through the door, and quickly got into my hotel room. I doubled checked that I had brought all three bags with me before going into the bathroom. I looked in the mirror and blew my nose but nothing would come out. I noticed something sticking out of my left nose so I pulled it. A thick and endless glob of mucus came out of my nose as I felt it coming from the back of my throat.

I was looking at the comments of a Facebook post that I had made where I admitted that I was afraid of “failing to reintegrate with society”. People I never talked to were offering companionship and advice in the comment thread.

I woke up from a nap and panicked as I thought I had missed my 7:15 evening class.
