Striking clock

It’s early, you’re tired, you don’t want to get out of bed for any reason. You know you don’t have anything until 10 so why not sleep? Within a couple of minutes you work up the courage to get up stumble into the bathroom and put your contacts in without taking too long, the day is about to begin. You make your way downstairs, grab a nutrigrain bar and slowly make your way to the garage. Little bits of light start to seep in when you open the garage and a gush of frigid morning air comes in…

Mark is sleeping soundly on a Monday morning. His bedroom is completely dark, without the slightest presence of light. As the time approaches six-thirty, Mark’s alarm clock chimes. “Beep! Beep! Beep!” “Lucy.” Mark says sleepily as he wakes up. “Open the blinds.” Digital blinds dissolve into the bedroom windows, and the room is flooded with the first light of the morning sunrise. Mark’s room is now illuminated and fully visible. After lifting himself out of bed, Mark makes his way to the bathroom…

and I used to go on. No matter what, there was always the guarantee of listening to at least three Coldplay albums over the duration of the car ride. With that being said, “Clocks” is one of my all-time favorite Coldplay songs. THe lyric that always speaks to me is, “ Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks. Gonna come back and take you home, I could not stop that you now know, singing…” (Coldplay, 2002), because it exemplifies how my time with my family and friends is quickly…

I wake up to the sound of my alarm on my phone ringing. I consider myself a morning person, as getting up is always pretty easy. I suppose this is because I know if I don't get up and get to my classes, I'll fail. I didn't used to be a morning person until I almost failed eighth grade, so it made sense. Even though it was Monday, I was still up on time. I know most people have trouble getting up on Mondays in particular, but not me. I had picked my outfit the night before, so showering and…

The next morning i remember waking up at 6 am holding my phone and turning off my alarm clock then, telling myself 5 more minutes. The next thing i know, i hear my doorbell ring and my mom saying “Oh my gosh! shes still sleeping!!!” “What time is it?” i asked. I rush out of bed and run my around house trying to get my stuff together and…

Jungkook groans and rolls over in bed when the sunlight filtering through his tiny bedroom window becomes simply impossible to ignore. He cracks an eye open and the small digital clock on his bedside table comes into view, and he squints to focus the dull red numbers, eventually making out 8:47. He allows his eyes to flutter closed again, and then in half a second is suddenly very awake when he realizes that his first class of the day starts at precisely 9:05; meaning he has exactly eighteen…

I woke to the sound of my alarm clock going off, “Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep.” It was 7:00 in the morning; the usual time I get up to go to school, but like usual I slam on the snooze button and sleep for another five minutes. After hitting the snooze button three times I finally got up. Today is the day, our first doubleheader of the season is against Rockford. The coach is starting me at left field and it is my first game ever starting in high school game. I’m a Sophomore at Atwood High School; my…

I woke up to the rapid buzzing of my phone on my nightstand. I grabbed it with haste as I sat up in my bed. I struggled to read the bold text on my phone screen as the bags under my eyes formed gradually. The text read, “HEY, MIKEY, I JUST FOUND THIS INCREDIBLE BARBECUE PLACE.” It was 2:00am in the morning on a Tuesday. I replied with a congratulations and went back to sleep imagining the sweet barbecue sauce in my mouth. That next morning, I woke up and went to school. After school I had agreed…
