Where...?

It's warm, whereever you are. You feel like you're floating, maybe in a pool? You're unsure. It's hard to form a thought.

It doesn't matter, though, because this is the most comfortable you've ever been.

.........buzz, buzz...

...buzz, buzz.......

buzz, buzz...

You roll over and see that your phone is ringing...buzz, buzz...

You pick up the phone and answer the call.

Dad

Hey, kid!

You

Goodmorning, dad... (It's too early for this.)

Dad

What the hell do you mean "goodmorning"? It's just about afternoon!

You

...Ah... (Shit! That means I'm really late for work. Whatever, might as well take the day off.)

Dad

Sigh. If you keep oversleeping, you're gonna get fired. Which, we both know is only gonna make life harder for you. It's not gonna get any better until you help yourself. If you-

Dad

Alright... Well, mind if I swing by today?

You

Uh- yeah, sure. That's fine. Well, I'll see you then. Bye.

Dad

See you then, bye.
