Localised time distortions
The alarm went off this morning at seven like it always does. I pressed the snooze button and rolled over.
Bip!
What? Ten past? What's going on?
Snooze.
Bip!
Twenty past? What the fuck? How is this possible, I swear I just blinked.
Then I realised.
Of course!
Aliens!
Aliens were stealing my time—they had to be. What else could explain these bizarre time distortions?
I hit the snooze button, lay on my back and peered out from under my eye lids. I relaxed every muscle (well, not every muscle) in anticipation of springing from bed and throttling one of those pesky time-stealing aliens.
Bip!
Sweet fucking Jesus! Sneaky fuckers, they've done it again! Half past!
Damn!
I'll get the little bastards tomorrow.
