Visual Literacy: Narrative Treatment

An alarm goes off and a man wakes up.  He did not sleep well and looks like hell.  He puts on his slippers and a robe and go to the bathroom.  He gazes into the mirror, and he thinks about the day he met her.  He brushes his teeth, gets dressed, and leaves the house, all while thinking of different stages of their friendship.  He waits for the bus to pick him up, and the thoughts keep coming to him, the time they went to a show together, the night they stayed up till 2am just talking.  He walks into the office and remembers the day he decided to ask her to be his girlfriend.  He gets to his cubicle and sees her on the phone talking to someone.  She is smiling and radiant.  He remembers going to her place with flowers the night before, and seeing her walk out and get in a car with a new guy.  He clicks away at his computer, when the new guy comes into the office.  The new guy is picking the girl up for a lunch date.  The first man remembers drinking way too much the night before in an attempt to drown his sorrows.  Before the girl leaves on her lunch date with the new guy, she stops at the cubicle of the first man to say hi, and then asks "are you alright?".  The man responds, after remembering everything again, responds "I'm fine".  The end.
