BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. Piercing noises wake me violently as my dreams are shattered. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. It shriekingly floods my unconcious until I can no longer ignore it. This wretched sound screams, longing to be noticed. Finally I hit the snooze button. Ten minutes of glorious silence. The reminder of the alarm has shattered any hopes of returning to the peaceful haven of my dreams, but rather keeps me on guard, waiting for the next round of this loud monotone declaration. This would probably be one of my least favorite sounds in the world! This sound reperesents the realization that my adventurous dreams are being called to an end and that my day, full of work, school and other monotonous daily activities, is only just beginning.
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. There it is again. If only my alarm clock knew I wasn't ready to give up my warm comfortable, especially to hit the cold, hard ground running! No thank you! I think I would much rather stay in bed.
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. That is the sound of my alarm clock disagreeing with me. I know I am fighting an uphill battle, but I hit the snooze button yet again. Maybe I can catch just one more glance at the dream world I don't want to leave behind. I grasp for the pleasant memories I had just given up minutes ago, but I can't find them. I now know the meaning of a race against the clock. I stuggle to find them before my alarm goes off again. Maybe I think that if I can make it back to my dream world, I can stay there, even if my alarm clock doesn't think it is the best idea. I start to remember the dreams I had just given up. I am just barely being swept back into the warm, welcoming dreamland, when I hear it echoing deep in my being...BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. It sounds like nails scratching on a chalkboard. I snap back to reality and realize I can't hide from it. I roll over, turn on the lights and turn my alarm clock off. I must face it. I am awake. No thanks to my alarm clock!

O boy, the dreaded alarm clock. My alarm clock is usually my son-i hardly ever get up before he is awake. I remember that loud shreeking beeping all the way through high school though. Sometimes it scares you to death!
ReplyDeleteI hate my alarm clock!! I love my sleep. I could sleep all day long if I didn't work or have school. I thought you were very creative in how you wrote this blog. I think you are a talented writer. I would suggest to you maybe using a song as your alarm in the morning, that way the sound of the beep doesn't make you go nuts!
