>>> Hi,
>>> Since I started this, here is my try.

>>> Today I awoke to that shriek that beeps every half second. I placed it

>>> one leap to the floor and then across the room to quiet that stupid cube
>>> for another day.
>>>
>>> My feet didn't hit the floor. My first leap still had me on the bed. My
>>> legs were still straight. Then, another leap. One more. My feat landed 
>>> on
>>> warm carpet, not cold floor. I landed at the foot of my bed, not the
>>> side.
>>> I leaned forward to get my balance. my hands, then my chest thudded
>>> against a wall.
>>>
>>> It was Saturday, not Friday. I wasn't student teaching. I was sleeping
>>> in.
>>> I wasn't in my college dorm room. I was home, in my bedroom. I hadn't
>>> been
>>> in my twin bed. I was in my queen bed. It was then that I realized that
>>> my
>>> heart was slowing.
>>>
>>> "Are you OK, son?" came my dad's concerned, deep, tired voice from his
>>> side of the bed.
>>>
>>> "Yeah." I said.
>>>
>>> Then, a rustle, a click, and one more muffled sentence from Dad. "That
>>> damned alarm."
