Microfiction: Waking Up Late
Story 1: The sunlight streams through the windows. The birds are chirping and you feel well-rested for once. Wow, this bed is so comfortable. You reach for your phone and you check the time. And the bright numbers and the date on the screen taunts you. 10:25 am on Thursday?! No no no no, you realized that you missed your big presentation at 9:30 am.
Story 2: Five more minutes..... your hand hits the sleep button. You drift back to sleep and the annoying blaring wakes you up again. Eh, at this point, you can just miss class, right? Sleep is important for college students anyway. Goodnight, world.
Author's Note: For this story, I wanted to write about a dilemma we all face at some point. In the first story, I started it off as a wonderful morning, but then ease it into the panic once the person realizes that they missed their presentation. For the second story, the person accepts their fate and just goes back to sleep.
