Rosalia's POV (Point of View)
I reach my home after a long day at the hospital. I go to the kitchen, open the fridge and take out the unopened bottle of red wine. I pour myself a glass and head towards the bathroom to enjoy my bubble bath. I shed my clothes and just as I am about to get in, a thought strikes me. I place my wine glass at the edge of the tub and sprint towards my bedroom and proceed towards my bedside table where I kept the half-read book, I picked up from the local library.
Might as well enjoy a good story along with my bubble bath.
Yes, I am a doctor. But, that does not mean I have no interest in other books apart from medical books. I love reading novels about handsome knights in shining armors who rescue their damsels in distress. It makes my toes curl.
I start reading the book, from the page I dog-eared and taking occasional sips of wine. So, according to the story thus far, Rosalinda our protagonist is in a fix. The neighboring kingdom ruled by the wicked King Cosmo is at odds with her kingdom. And apparently to stop the impending war, she proposes marriage to the king in order to save her people.
I turn the page to read what happens next but it is blank. The page is empty. I flip the book and all the remaining pages are blank.
Suddenly I start feeling faint. My head is throbbing, I try to get out of my bathtub to go take a pill for my headache, but it feels all the strength has been sucked out of me and then blackness greets me.
