Forcing change

*Back at David's lab*

David was exhausted. His tongue felt like it was glued in his mouth. When was the last time he brushed his teeth? He rubbed the sleep from his dry eyes, waiting for Efrain's arrival. "David? I'm over here." Oh. Right. Efrain was already here. "Sorry, Efrain. Did you say something?" David asked, stumbling on his couch. "I've been talking for about thirty minutes, and I know you're not drunk, but you look exhausted. When's the last time you slept?" He asked, crossing his arms. "...sleep?" Was all David responded. "David, go lay down. I can better understand this anyway, I studied biology and animals heavily back in college." Efrain explained. "But you were like....13 or 14 at the time." David said, yawning. "What are you saying?" Efrain asked, moving some documents as he adjusted his glasses. "You're old." David finished. ".... David, go to sleep before I put you to sleep."
