Day 21 - life gets stressful, pick up a pen/keyboard

I'm in my last year of medical school. I'm applying to residency applications. It's painful, hard work that makes me strain to remember everything I've done that might make me sound like a good person.

In times of stress lately I've taken to staring at the screen and panicking that time won't stop moving forward. Instead, I'm turning back to my dusty, forgotten blog for some much needed writing relief.

Okay I'm not very good at horror but I saw this prompt and thought it lent itself to a different genre than I usually do. Maybe it's because I don't read scary books or watch horror films. You know what's really scary? Missing the deadline to apply to residency.
