12-hour clock

a good time to be alive--there were handy inventions, plenty of smooth jazz, and flowering economics. During this short decade, the lifestyles of Canadians improved drastically due to the extraordinary new technology, including Band-Aids, accurate clocks, and insulin. Their social lives improved with the new fashions, a newly organised sports industry, and an up-and-coming jazz era. It wasn’t just their personal lives that improved; with the increase in consumerism, industrial growth, and…

the time as 10:11 P.M., and I sigh deeply knowing that I have no choice but to shove the loose papers and binders into my backpack. I finished my before bed routine, and crawl underneath my covers. With the guilt of knowing I will not reach eight hours of sleep tonight, I force my brain to shut down, and darkness envelopes me. The next day drags on and soon find myself falling captive to my bed once more. A fire alarm blares and I jolt off my bed, only to realize that my alarm had gone off.…

Every morning my alarm goes off with it’s usual perky and uplifting beat. I can only assume that the person who created this arousing tune had the intention of waking one up feeling fresh, revitalized, and ready to take on the day. The reality is, it does the complete opposite, it makes me want to cover myself in enough blankets and pillows until I can finally drown out the horrendous noise. Instead I reluctantly force myself out of bed at an ungodly time and drive to Oak Grove elementary school…

The alarm clock wakes me up early in the morning. I want to sleep more. But I have to leave my bed. Then I go to the bathroom. I brush my teeth. I take a bath, get out the shower dry myself up, and wrap my towel around my body. I go back into my bedroom and sit in my chair, where my dresser is to do my hair. I always like to to do big sexy curls for work, and make sure my hair looks very big, and puffy. So I always use my straighter to curl my hair, it always last longer if I use my straighter.…

My annual hectic competitive dance showcase started this year as it always has, as a charged and passionate kickoff. That morning, I had been woken abruptly from my peacefully sound sleep by my deafening alarm clock. An obnoxious cry playing a song from the ‘Pitch Perfect’ soundtrack continued to sound until I was alert enough to lurch over and smash the stop button. I immediately made my bed and hopped into my warm-up outfit for the day. My mom had already been awake for some time and we we’re…

as I snatched my oversized black shirt with the little orange roof that read, ‘Servpro’. Next I clutched an old pair of jeans, my black nike sneakers, my keys, and finally sprinted out the door. Traffic was worse than usual. Instead of sitting an hour in traffic to Comstock Park, the…

I WOKE UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE BED THIS MORNING. I stretched my hand out in search of Soraya’s warm touch, but found chilling sheets. I turn my head to find an empty bed. I look over at the clock on my bedside table--three thirty a.m.. Where was she? She didn’t have to get ready for school until five. I swung my feet over the side of the bed and prepared myself for the stinging feeling of the cold hardwood floor against my bare feet. I then remembered the soft slippers Sohrab got me for my…

already, narrows the things that the reader can manipulate the word “it” by saying that “it” has to be “lifting up” and also has to be “large as a giant”. Consequently, although the option of interpreting “it” with an alarm clock is no longer a valid option since an alarm clock doesn’t follow the rule of being large or lifting up, the other options of interpreting “it” are still valid. For example, considering that the nuclear bomb was the reason for the noise that sounded like a pressure…
