Letitia Ryland (Apt 9E)

The day started with her dog jumping on her stomach. Brownie licked her face and she pushed him away with one hand, wiping his sticky spit off her cheeks with the other. She wiped, then wiped again, then realized she wasn't just wiping spit. There were tears. Letitia was crying again. She sighed, exasperated with herself. It was too early in the morning for this! She looked over at her clock, and it read 7:16 AM. Letitia rolled out of bed. She walked to the kitchen, sniffling, and started making herself some coffee. She went about her morning ritual: pet and feed the animals, brush her teeth, take a shower. Everything was normal. However, Letitia was still gently sobbing. As she looked in the mirror to apply her makeup, she wondered how she could possibly put on mascara while water leaked out of her eyes. More importantly, though, why was she still crying? Letitia had always had a gift (or curse, actually, in many situations) of being extremely sensitive to the emotions of others...
