The phone rang at 4am

“Hello, who is this?”

“This is your subconscious and this is the call you’ve been expecting. Now when I reach number 1 you have to wake up, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1.”

This week, you’re all starting with the same 5 words and your task is to turn it in to your own story in only 33 words. The 5 we have given you are NOT to be counted in the 33 words.

    Mine’s early. It’s only 12:50 a.m. here. I didn’t know it could give me a few more hours.

  12. My internal clock overrides any external clock anyway, so telling myself to wake up would surely work.
