The Creepy Alarm Clock

Trrrrrring...The alarm clock at my bedside table makes me almost jump! As I fiddle with it, it wakes up everyone not only in our house, but I think the whole neighborhood!!  And yes, everybody seems to know that Iqra is awake now...hunh!! I sometimes marvel at its power, really!! It’s something, every child should have (yup, especially the ones, who have a habit of sleeping till late in the morning...been watching a movie?? No?) The clock strikes six and the poor old alarm with all its strength gives a loud shout. It even pierces through my dreamland. So, if I dream about me and my friend gossiping and then hear a loud ‘Trrrrring’ my eyes flutter open and I see that the alarm clock is literally jumping up and down or when I see myself flying an aeroplane, and the engine suddenly gives a roar, it’s actually my alarm clock, dutifully ringing!! It seems to enjoy itself when it sees me fidgeting with it, getting irritated or even banging it on the wall! In fact, it rings louder than ever! I have an uncanny feeling that it knows when I’m in the best part of my dream.I think, I once even threw it hard on the concrete floor, far from me but see the heights of shamelessness, it kept ringing till I went out of the room and Switched it off! And although I was in no mood to go to the school, I had to because, I was unable to even forcibly close my eyes! That poor old alarm clock, not only does the job of waking me up in the morning for the school, but also shrieking in my ears whenever my eyes become droopy during classes. I remember that incident when during one of my classes, I had literally slept(I couldn’t somehow sleep through the night) and that creepy alarm clock sounded in my ears with full force and as per my habit, I started pushing the nose and pulling the hair of my friend sitting with me! Poor girl! She thought I had gone mad!! But before she could report it to the teacher, my eyes opened wide and I was shocked and embarrassed (I apologized to her as well). So, despite all its creepy powers and unusual disturbances, the alarm clock still remains one of my most prized possessions.

Aaaaargh!!
