Taking Control

From Create Your Own Story

Don't you hate it when you wake up out of an amazing dream only to forget it the moment your eyes pop open? You know it's one of the best dreams ever, yet you can't remember a single detail. That's the sort of week you've been having. Then again, there's today. It's not very light out and you roll over to look at your clock. No clock.

Which can only mean one thing, you knocked it off the nightstand when it went off the first time. Reaching down alongside your bed without leaving the warmth of the covers you retrieve it and hold it in front of your face. 8:22am. Realization floods your mind and you dive out of bed, forgetting how tired you are. The room becomes a flurry of activity for a couple of moments as you scramble about snatching clothing and dressing as quickly as possible.

You run into the bathroom to finish up and look at yourself in the mirror. You're a 20 year old (woman)/(man) who is nearly twenty minutes late for work at the moment.
