  1. the alarm goes off. i groan and roll over. ugh it’s a monday. What a waste of a monday morning. let’s see what I have to do today….presentation, go to office hours. Oh what a busy day. I hate mondays, they suck. Look, the day ahsn’t even started yet and I’m already stressed out. What to do, what to do. I finally stop thinking and roll out of my bed. I take a look at the clock. It’s only 6:30. Who on earth would be awake at 6:30 on a Monday morning? Nobody! That’s who.

  2. I don’t sleep anymore. I try, honest I do, but somehow the combination of the orange city sky at night and the clamor of students in the dorm’s common room dictate that I, inept freshman, will not sleep this year. In the morning my neck aches.

  5. In the given hours of the morning, most people hear the alarm and go about their daily routine. In my case, I roll over and hit the alarm to make it be quiet and hope to continue the dreaming I was dreaming. In most cases, I pass out for a few more moments until the alarm attacks again with the indescribable hatred for the hours of sleep.

  6. the clock struck one
    and she is driven upright by a frightening force
    her body is tingling with an electric intensity.
    and she is drenched in her own sweat and old tears.
    the years went by too fast to take note.
    and fold after fold
    her body collapses back into a valley of hidden cotton and cold sheets.
    the dampness in her throat brings her to taste the vague suggestion of last night’s events. ending with an uprise of acidity and

  7. sound the alarms
    leave me unharmed
    i am alone
    i throw no stone
    keep me close, keep me safe.
    i am lost in your race
    hold my hand, hold my heart
    never keep us apart.

  8. The alarm rang and I was transfixed. I couldn’t exactly decide when I first fell in love with him, but it would make me realize that it didn’t mean anything to me anymore. I mean, when you have to be reminded that you love someone by an alarm, it’s time to give it up. Right? … Right?

  11. My alarm sounded, oh crap! I’m late! I dashed out of bed and into the shower. When had I snoozed it? I was in such a rush and so tired I shampooed my face and soaped my hair. Crap, you fool! Into the kitchen, fast, I grabbed cereal and a granola bar. Front hall, coat adorned, and gone.

  12. I sat up in bed imedetely . The fire alarm? now? in the middle of the night? I jumped out of bed threw on a few clothes and knocked on my families doors to make sure they were all awake. No response. I didn’t know what to do: Leave? Wait?
    I felt the door. Not hot that was a good sign i opened it and didn’t see my parents. I ran to hte next room where my brother was. No one. I ran down the stairs to reach the first floor. I found the fire in hte kitchen with smoke rising rapidly and covering the ceiling.I grabbed my dog from her cage and rushed out hte front door hoping to see my family outside.

  13. I don’t have an alarm clock anymore. Every morning my mother wakes me up and brings me a bowl of granola and yogurt. I’m not spoiled, I’m anorexic. I never wanted to be wakened by food instead of my alarm but that’s how it is. Breakfast in bed? I’d rather be dead.

  15. When I wake up in the morning, the alarm blares in my ear, and all I can feel is just that, alarm. For seconds I cannot comprehend what that annoying buzzing is sounding in my ear. It’s truly the most frightening 5 seconds of my life. Every morning.

  16. It’s almost every night. Almost all the time, when I sleep I dream of you. They’re really nightmares but in my heart I can feel you there. I want you out of my head but no matter what I cannot rid you from my bones. And every time I dream of you I think of how much I miss you, and then the alarm clock goes off.

  17. My alarm is The Future freaks me out by motion city soundtrack.
    I hit snooze about 8 times before I get up in the morning
    Maybe that’s why…if I had a more positive song, I would be more ready to get out of be

  18. I jumped out of bed. Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls yelled in my ears as I tried to push my drowsiness to the back of my mind. I groaned when I remembered. Today is Monday.

  19. I hit the snooze button on the alarm. Guilt consumes me. and then I remember – this is the 4:45 alarm, and I am not supposed to get up until the 5 alarm. happiness washes over me. I need not feel unworthy any longer. I get out of bed to turn off the snooze and fall over.

  20. The alarm sounds, but I’m not going in today. There’s just too much to think about. Too many people to please. So I tell her to hit the button to make the sound go away. And she gets out of bed, into the shower. There’s nothing to say, really. So I turn over, pulling the comforter up to my eyes. Today.

  21. The alarm above my head rings loudly whenever I think about him. It’s not fair that I’m tied down to one when I really just wish to sample the other. If it weren’t for that damn alarm called guilt, I’d be the luckiest girl in the world.

  22. When I was in university halls, a certain group of people on the top floor always activated the fire alarm in the early morning by smoking in their rooms. This made me very angry until I met a pretty girl one night when we had to assemble outside after an alarm.

  23. waking up early in the morning grumpy, tired and moldy, loud and annoying alarm clock that brings you the day. WA WA WA AW.

  25. I set my alarm in December 1980, and as I drifted off to sleep, the news came on with word that John Lennon had been shot. I was 13. I think of that night often.

  26. The alarm rang out its deafening burst. I slowly woke imagining your face. It’s harder everyday that they ringing brings me to realize that you are gone.

  29. The alarm screamed through the entire building, waking anyone who might have been asleep on the job. It was so loud that some might have even wet their pants. Cynthia ran like hell around the corner, slapping the lock overrides as she went so that the others could get out. She didn’t want anyone to burn, no matter what they’d done to deserve it.

  30. The alarm clock wakes me up in the morning but I want to stay in my peaceful slumber and lucid dreams. I push the snooze button multiple times instead of the cancel one because I want the option of waking up…it’s just that I have not taken that option yet. Eventually I get up because the alarm has been chucked across the room and I must rise to go retrieve it.

  31. scared and frightened. i heard the alarm go off and i wasn’t sure where i was or who was laying next to me. what had i done? i couldn’t be sure. but i know i made a mistake. i’m good at that. i wanted to take back the last few hours and shake myself back to reality, back to reality. but the alarm had gone off and it was too late.

  32. Alarms wake people up every day and let people know when they need to get up and goto work. They also serve as alerts in various places like prisons or for homes in case of either break in or break out. Alarms can also be put on cars and trucks to prevent people from stealing them. Some alarms are triggered by light, some by lasers, some are time based and some are motion based. Alarms are a fantastic thing to have!

  33. sometimes i want to kill my clock because it’s just so FUCKING ANNOYING. like, why can’t you just give me a little bit more sleep? even a minute would help. please. stop making that annoying ass beeping noise that somehow gets louder and more annoying as it keeps going. the worst is when i remember it’s across my room because i was sooo smart and told myself i should do that the night before so i had to GET UP and turn it off. UGHGHGHGHGH. that’s the worst. OR when you forget to turn off your alarm and it goes off on a sunday. FACK.

  34. loud , it awakens me from sleep, perchance to dream
    the cold and long winter longing of warmth and human comfort
    a solace not so easily found
    it escapes me
    cheeks red, a blush with cold
    and envy

  37. alarms can be very scary! they could be a warning for some sort of danger which is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo not cool! i dont like alarms! they are scary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  38. Loud, and brash. I don’t like this sound it disturbs my dreams and wakes me from the only peace I have left in life. Alarm brings thoughts of panic and disruption and with it brings images of flames leaping up buildings.
