CRASH!

My eyes startled open, my body promptly ricocheting up as a sigh escaped my parched lips. Quickly noticing my small, black, alarm clock, now residing in a heap upon my floor, I start to heave myself up off my bed.

The pictures were almost laughing at my lack of power, but I got used to that a long time ago. I kept walking, smiling at all my mom's accomplishments, barely entertaining the thought that it could be me in one of those pictures. I was abruptly cut off as a voice echoed from downstairs, stopping me in my tracks.
