The Alarm Clock

Damn, 7:00. And again I have a hangover, the taste of cigarettes, vodka and lipstick.
I turn off the alarm and continue sleeping.
I curse again. It is 12:37, Wednesday.
Another interview that I have not arrived on time to.

  1. I like this story because is simple and descriptive, you can imagine each element that describes: the taste of cigarettes, lipstick..and how do you feel when you continue sleeping...Although I don' t know anyone forget arriving at a job interview because now is very difficult to find it...

    1. This story works because it reflects the disaster, the situation of a person who cares nothing.
      The description is very good, can you imagine that person with remains of lipstick, and that face not want to get out of bed ...
      I liked it!

  2. This story is totally true. How many times have you lived this situation by yourself? Many times. And the story is written in Present Tenses, this brings you closer to the reality. Although these stories are too short and you need to imagine the most of them, in your tale is palpable the honesty and that's why I like it.
