"Well, Mr. Kowl," Stated the doctor. "Besides that cough that we're going to keep an eye on, your overall health looks pretty good."

"My heart and my head look good?" I said with just a hint of a smile across my face. Melissa had come to mind again.

"Pardon me?" The doctor asked.

"Nothing." I sighed. "So everything is fine?" I asked once more.

He nodded and smiled. I could've sworn that his hair piece was going to fly off and hit the floor any minute now. "Everything looks great. But I do want you to come back in a week to check up on your cough. Come back sooner if it gets any worse."

I coughed once or twice in his office. Well... More than that. But I, like everyone else, just blamed the cold weather. I told him I would and walked out of the office feeling even more not right. Since the year began, something has been feeling wrong. Almost as if something was off about this time.

I had walked to the doctors. It was only a couple blocks away from my apartment building. On the way, I passed a man with a cup at his side. His clothes tattered and torn, his hair filled with dirt and bugs. He looked pathetic. "Spare change?" He asked, begged, pleaded with dark brown eyes. I walked away. I didn't even look him in the eye as I passed his broken blue cup without dropping a single coin in.
