It was not until the following day that she realized she was dead. It came as quite a shock to her. One would think that she would've noticed or that her friends and co-workers would've mentioned it, but they didn't. Everyone just allowed her to continue living when she was very clearly dead. Quite rude if you think about it.
She went to work as always at 8:15, avoided the creepy sandwich guy Jeff at 12:45, caught up with the latest office rumors (Sandy is such a bitch!) at 13:23, she even returned the stapler she stole from accounting at 15:08. Not even a thank you from those boring old farts.
The day went by as per usual... she left work at 16:47, bought her usual strawberry and banana smoothie at that health shop on the corner at 17:12 and went home to watch which book Oprah has deemed soppy and sad enough for her book club at 17:31. At 22:42 she switched off her bedside lamp and went to sleep quite oblivious to the fact that she had been dead for 20 hours, 40 minutes and 17 seconds...
How could she not realize she was dead? Can't really say, but at least she realized eventually...
