Alarm clock

Jake sprung up from his bed. The night was motionless as darkness drifted around his room. Something was very wrong. Jake could feel his heart racing, trying to rupture through his chest. He turned and glanced at his alarm clock. This was the second night Jake had awakened in panic; the first time occurred at 3:15 am the previous night and, currently, it was 2:50 am. Sweat dispensed from his head and trolled down his chest, drenching his shirt. Jake thought as he tried to clasp his breath, but…

After two months or so I got into a pattern of waking up every day at 6:00 AM to the beeping of my too loud alarm clock, sluggishly crawling out of bed, brushing my hair and putting on my uniform.

BRING ON THOSE BULLDOGS!!" My mind was going in a million different directions, but I was more than ready to have a win under our belt. On the side lines, coach Dorminey called out plays, play by play, and snap by snap, the minutes ran down on the clock. One touch down after another, we were up 12-nothing at the end of the first quarter. I had only hoped that we could keep this up throughout the whole game. Before I knew it, the game was over, 39-18. We had defeated Richwood for our homecoming…

taking her eyes off her present. Tattered with emotions, it walked briskly down the street, with wondering eyes, hoping it hasn't kept his recipient waiting too long. Monday afternoon was his flight and he woke up, an hour late, even his rampant alarm clocks voice couldn’t get to him. “Oh shit, I should’ve told my boss to fuck off... Now I’m an hour late for my flight!” he angrily detested himself, trying to scamper his clothes back on and drag himself through the door and into his car. The day…

They make attempts to hide themselves under their thick covers in the icy mornings to avoid having to leave them behind. They put on a few, or perhaps more than a few, pounds to insulate their cold bones. Bitter or melancholy moods set in to reflect the weather. In Margaret Atwood’s poem, “February”, she makes use of similes and metaphors to compare humans to animals in order to emphasize her gloomy,…
