“Desperate Remedies” by Robert Cook

Submitted to Contest #248

Desperate Remedies "Beep! Beep! Beep!" I awake to a familiar sound and a familiar sight. A messy room lit up with the light from sunrise and a fucking ANNOYING alarm that won't shut up. "Beep! Beep!" "click" I turn it off and look at the time...shit im going to be late! I immediately got up, got dressed in a button up shirt, denim jeans and sneakers then bolted out the door as fast as my feet could carry me. I ran to my car...SHIIIIIIIIT! I forgot my fucking keys...are you kidding me? I ran back to my apartment and ...

Submitted to Contest #191

I wake up in the morning and go to work at a warehouse just putting labels on packages and then putting them on a conveyer belt for shipping. I work in this little booth by myself it’s nice and quiet so it allows me to think. I tend to think up tragedies in my head though I’ve been trying to block them out but, its hard so I listen to music to make me feel better. Around 3:30pm I hear the bell ring which means it’s time for lunch. Unfortunately, we can’t eat at our stations meaning I have to go to the massive breakroom filled with people. As...

It was too early to getting ready for work or eating breakfast. And just playing video games would also cause me to waste my morning away. I was trying to be more cautious ...

Submitted to Contest #184

I wake up in the middle of the night frustrated that I can’t sleep. I turn to the left alarm, and it reads 1am UGH! I turn to the right and see my wife Patricia laying down next beside me. God she always looked so pretty when she was asleep. I lay back down and stare at the ceiling after what seemed like twenty minutes I decide that I just can’t do it and get up. I go out of our room and down the hall on the left that’s Penelope and Emily’s rooms. I open the door just a tad to see them sleeping soundly together. My precious little girls from...
