Ocean's Morning Memoir

• Lights flicker on and off.
• My brother Shakes me to wake me up.
• "It's 7 o'clock" I hear him say.
• I open my eyes and I see him staring down on me.
• I lay flat on my back.
• My cat in the corner of my bed sleeping peacefully.
• I sluggishly push my blanket off and get out of bed.
• I drag myself into the shower.
• I slump into the kitchen feeling as sluggish as before.
• I pop down some toast and wait.
• I sit down at the table and eat away.
• My feeling like lead as I muster up the strenth to walk.
• I flail my arms to wake them up again as I reach for the toothbrush.
• I throw my lunch box and my togs in my bag my Dad is waiting for me out at the car as I jump in and drive off for another day at school.
