The alarm went off. He opened his eyes to see the ever present phosphorous red digital numbers reading: 5:10 AM. He let it make its annoying fire alarm type of noise for a few seconds before he got from under the covers, got out of bed, walked over to the dresser where the god-awful noise was coming from. Reached on the back of the alarm clock and pressed the off button. Silence. Finally.
He had awakened with his fifty-five years old self to witness another day. He didn't smile at that. Quite to the contrary. Waking up and getting started was beginning to get laborious. And that's the damnedest thing he thought to himself. Once he got up, there was nothing left to do but to live...another day....
(Peace! More to come...)
