I wake to the insistent voice of my alarm. It demands that I abandon my dreams and give it my undivided attention. But, does it deserve to be obeyed? It has done nothing each day but abruptly pushes me out of my cozy nest into the harsh world to fend for myself. Its job done, it cares little if I live or die, or if I return each night. It just resets and waits. Ready to ambush me in the morning... Resets, and waits.
