A Voice in my Head

BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP

I roll over and reach out from under the covers and fumble around on my bedside cabinet to grab my phone and hit snooze on my alarm. I always snooze at least once. It always feels like those extra 9 (or 18!) minutes are worth the extra rush getting ready in the morning, no matter how many times I decide that tomorrow I'll get up on time!

Before I close my eyes and try to seek out that little more sleep needed from another night up until 3am on my computer I note the faded yellow walls of my room at uni and my clothes lying on the floor in embarrassing piles of clean, almost clean and dirty. I roll over and as usual miss the double bed I have at my parents and pull the single duvet round so that it covers me again.

I close my eyes and then I hear a voice....

I know that it's not a real voice, it was just in my mind. Like my subconscious... but not... more clear, more.... insistent....
