The alarm jarred me out of deep sleep. I reached over to kill the beep and drew the clock close to my face. 5:18. Ok, up in a minute. I dozed off, then awoke again with a start. 5:26. Alright, alright, I’m up I’m up I’m up already.
Sitting up. 5:32. Ok. Getting mobile.
Brushed my teeth. Flossed. Shaved. Look at that crazy eyebrow hair. How did it get that long?.
Long hot shower. That’s what the Dr. ordered. Why am I so tired this morning?
Back in the bedroom, fishing around the closet in the dark for some clothes. Wait a second here. Why is it still so dark? Checked the clock – 2:06.
2:06?
“Hey it smells like you just took a shower.”
“I did.”
“What time is it?”
“Time for bed.”
Just in time for Hallowe’en – the alarm clock horror story! Scary!
