every morning.

I stagger to my alarm clock and smash it soundly. Snooze is prominently displayed but I have never used it. I merely turn my alarm off and then reset for five minutes or twenty. Then I stumble back to bed. Sweet sleep doesn’t come my way. Instead, a harsh worry creeps over my mind and every minute I raise myself onto my elbows and peer at the flashing neon lights to make certain I haven’t slept another forty minutes.
