Morning Murder
by Bill Schott
The assailing noise of the phone struck like a rock machinegun shooting stalactite projectiles of sound at my temples.
"Hello?" was the light greeting I gave to the remarkably phone-like clock I held to my ear.
The pelting ring of the telephone continued. I remembered that I had placed it on a table at the far wall the previous evening in some forgotten attempt to force me to rise to my feet, and cross the room to answer it. Delivering a straight and accurate shot from my bed, I hit the egregious communication device with the clock. Both appliances, responding to both the collision and gravity, rested on the floor, as I attempted to do likewise in my bed.
Then, the buzzing assault of the alarm clock tore through my skull like a chainsaw. I rose from this crime scene, the murder of sleep, and prepared for breakfast.
