Description
There was a buzzing. A loud noise which was annoying and startling
more than anything else. I rolled over to look at the clock. Six o'clock
and four seconds. Nothing out of the ordinary; like every other day for
the past two years I had gotten up at the same time on every weekday.
I began my routine by using the toilet and the splashing water on my face
to help my eyes awaken. There, standing in front of the mirror I realized
how different things were now from the way they were then. Thinking back
to college and friends was a trip down memory lane that I should not take;
upon doing so the world would plunder into a dizzying and even more droll
process then it has already become. Now beginning in the kitchen eating my
toast with an pre-evening cooked egg on top, a must for every morning along
with coffee mixed with a little cocoa for extra flavor, which to this day made me
feel a little younger inside.
Now with my suit on, I began out the door
walking to the bus stop to wait approximately six minutes and fifty
seconds. As I stood there with my briefcase I barely noticed how light
the traffic had gotten and how uncrowded the streets were. I still stood,
facing forward, as if the world had simply stopped existing and the space
between myself and the fence across the street were the only things left.
And so I would stare at the only thing across form me. I barely noticed
the low rumbling that was occurring, as I could feel it moving from one
area away from me to another.
Out the corner of my eye an extremely large blur moved over the closest
part of the horizon. Through houses and buildings it seemed to move. But
all this was through my peripheral vision, as I stood at the bus stop
looking at the only other object of existence. I dare not move, I dare not
look, but all I can do is barely notice. In my doldrums that seem to have
a span of the last two years.
The blur was now coming down the street and I right in it's path. But it
is impossible for me to look or even consider looking at it.
At least not yet.
