The alarm goes off. Smacking it, I dream another nine minutes. The alarm goes off. This time I swing my legs out from beneath the covers. I got to get my feet back on the ground. Sitting still for a minute, my mind adjusts to the new reality. World turning. A shower pours water over my body. Closing my eyes I go back to the dream. I just want to be back where I belong. I ache to be home.
