The waters of the Pacific caress the sand in their timeless union. I hold you close as we squint into the glare of the low hanging sun. As we exchange tender kisses, our skin is cooled by the breeze from the ocean, and by the approaching night. We gaze into each others eyes with...
>>BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP<<
What is happening?! We look around startled and scared. The world begins to shift, crumble, fade.
>>BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP<<
With each blink I change worlds. The second starting out blurry and unclear. It becomes more solid and real as the first world fades away.
>>BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP<<
I realize what is happening and the perfect world vanishes. The bedroom I have been transported to has still not fully formed but I know where I am and I roll over and hit the top of the clock until that horrid noise stops.
Turning back away from the source of that noise I close my eyes and hug the pillow tighter against me, trying to go back where I had been just moments before. Hoping for a spark of warmth I know cannot be found within a pillow.
Finally I surrender my struggle and sit up to face the day.
God I hate mornings.
