Drabble #46 – Singing songs (just to
sing the songs)
I’d never realized how reliant on my alarm clock I had
become until I didn’t have it. It unnerved me more than
it should have, knowing that I would just wake up at
any time. What if I slept more than I needed to? What if I
slept forever? What if I never woke up? I don’t know what
my parents would do. Maybe they would regret borrowing my alarm
clock for the night. Maybe they would regret not borrowing it
sooner. They’d never say that out loud but it would
linger on their breaths, a sin mouthwash couldn’t cleanse
the lie out of.
