My Taiwan Adventure

She is here. The enemy creeping on soft feet, you can not hear her approach but suddenly she is there and you are helpless against her power. There is no fighting back, no blood-curdling scream.

"This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper."

Exhaustion is hatefully powerful and I gaze at the eyes staring back at me from the mirror. "Being happy is a choice," I remind myself and claw my fingers through my hair. Another day must be faced. My body is wilting and crying out in pain as I hobble the 6 steps from shower to bedroom. It seems the tiredness claims me more and more each day. How long can I endure? The enemy is here.
