Weekly Contest #373
She walked out of her bedroom. She heard, and smelled, the steady drip of her coffee pot. There was a random chirp of the neighborhood birds. She turned the tv on, but it was just a blank screen. There must have been some weather last night to knock out the internet. She would worry about that later. After a quick shower and a toaster oven breakfast, she stepped outside to head to the office.

She had been begging her father for her own phone for months. The answer was always no. When the Lloyds telephone/alarm clock combo showed up with no card for her 16th birthday, her father let her keep it with the condition that she got herself up for school every day - no more fighting. Every night for the rest of her high school career, she diligently set that alarm and every morning she got herse...
