I want to go back to sleep. I don’t know what that crash was bit it did wake me up. Shit. Fall back to sleep. “The time is six-fifteen. Would you like to snooze for five minutes?” Shit. The alarm clock. “The time is six-fifteen and thirty seconds. Would you like to snooze for five minutes?” Fuck it. “No.” “Good morning, then.” I’m up anyway, might as well get to work early. Maybe get some coffee. Forget the coffee, it makes me too excitable. “Harold?” “What dear?” Goddamn crash got her up too. “Could you get some more milk and cheese on your way home today?” I hate going to the store.
