Selftopsy

Miriam wanted to become a coroner. She aced the pathology and chirurgical exams. But she just couldn't remember the stupid paragraphs.
She failed law. Twice. That meant she was expelled.
At the good bye party, she spent half the night drinking with her former co-students, then went to bed and cried.
But she couldn't sleep.
Naked, she stared at herself in her ceiling mirror. Drunk and sleep deprieved she looked like a corpse on the examination table.
She didn't know why she suddenly had a scalpel in her hand.
But she still knew perfectly well what to do with it.
