chirp... a short story...










top, skirt, shoes, necklace, belt: ruche, cardi: pseudio, watch: guess

chirp... a short story... inspired by l.l.

8:00pm, sunday... chug down a shot of green nyquil... read a few chapters of A Discovery of Witches... fall into a comatose sleeeeep.....
1:00am... slightly wake up to the sound of a fan, a humidifier, and a chirp, while still somewhat in a dream... then think, "was that a chirp?".... chirp... crap. that was a chirp. listen to see if either of the dogs start their barking due to the chirp that they also hate so much... chirp. ... nope, no dogs barking. ugh... i wonder where that chirp is coming from... chirp... that had better not be from my smoke detector, i already had a chirp incident last summer with that rig... chirp... (out of bed i go)... stand under my smoke detector... chirp... nope, not that one. (out in the hallway i go)... chirp... hmmm... was that the hallway or the guest room?? (move closer to the hallway smoke detector)... chirp... nope can't tell. (into the guestroom i go)... chirp. yep, its this bugger. (into my room i go... take the humidifier off the chair... take the chair into the guest room - hit the chair against the wall and doorframe fyi - stand on chair, aggressively take the smoke detector down from the ceiling)... chirp... while thing "SCREW YOU CHIRPING SMOKE DETECTOR!!!", rip the battery out of it, toss it all on the dresser... wait... wait... (i did see the friends episode, i know how hard those buggers are to kill)... wait... yep, thats right. no more chirp for you.

happy lack of sleep/groggy nyquil monday to you too!
