[ WP ] You buy a new alarm clock with a special feature , and test it out the next morning . Every time you hit snooze , time pauses around you for 10 minutes .

Most of my life is a dream. Whenever the real world threatens to pass me by in a great responsible hurry, I just smile politely and say, wait up for me a moment, I'll just be a few. With a push of my finger the reporter on the morning news is caught mid blink making her look half asleep, particles of dust are held visible in a stream of light from my window, I know time is frozen because the birds have taken a breather from their dawn choruses. You do n't know quiet until you're the only thing in the world making noise. There's no way to tell how much time passes before it all starts up again, before the hour, minute, and second hands resume their tireless journey around the face of a clock. But I do n't care much to know. All I know is that I ca n't sleep better through all the night than I can in that space of time between times. In that place where only I exist, after the snooze button, and before the crash of sound for when it all comes back to life.
