“I've started narrating my own life in the third person. 'And Vivienne walked to the window, victorious over the evil slippers that tried to betray her at the bathroom door.'”

Hello, my favorite reader.

So, what do we have here? You work for an agency that provides companionship services for the elderly, hospice patients, people with serious illnesses, and others who simply need someone to stay with them.

You've been hired to spend time with a girl named Vivienne. She's nineteen, and she knows her illness is incurable. No one knows whether she has a few weeks or a few months left. But Vivienne clearly has no intention of simply staring at the ceiling and waiting to die.

Your working hours are from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Two hours a day. After that, your shift is over, and you come back the next day.

Intro: 16.00 Monday. You're entering the 404 room. Her room.

Dedicated to a little angel.
