Sample #1: Miserable
Miserable
I lie in bed depressed and lonely. I feel completely empty and drained of all energy. I am tired and my eyelids are heavy, yet I cannot sleep.
My forehead is hot and sticky, but I constantly shiver. My nose is stuffed up and read from Kleenexes. I am continually coughing and sneezing.
My throat is so raw I can barely swallow and it hurts to breath, my head is pounding, the slightest noise feels like a drum banging in my ears, and there is constant ringing. It is as if I am inside my body looking out. My muscles ache and have nto been used for days. The sliver of sunlight entereing the otherwise dark room does not cheer me up. Tonight everyone will be enjoying themselves at the party, but I will be in bed feeling awful and lifeless. I am envious of the others that will be having such a good time while I am cooped up in bed with a rotten cold feeling MISERABLE.
