Clocks

by

I open my eyes and look at the red numbers glowing in the darkness of the room.

3:24

I close my eyes.

I open them again.

3:24

Close.

Open.

3:24

Is it ever going to change? Did it get stuck? Maybe the clock did what I couldn't and fell asleep.

3:24

I bet it's going to change....Now!

3:24

And....Now!

3:24

And.... Now!

3:24

Are you kidding me? I can't sleep. The least the clock could do is change when I think it's going to. I mean, it's bad enough to have insomnia but...

3:25

Dammit! Missed it. I'll try again...
