[ WP ] In the far future where everything has an AI a man is negotiating with his alarm clock for more sleep .

“ Wake up, Jerry. ” 
 
 The speakers lining the walls of Jerry's bedroom, as well as the entire inside of the house, blared to life with a dull hum. Jerry pulled the covers over his eyes as the ceiling fan's light bulbs buzzed on. From the speakers came a monotonous voice that was just loud enough to force Jerry's ears to ring. 
 
 `` Wake up, Jerry. Wake up, Jerry. Wake up, Jerry.'' 
 
 `` Five more minutes.'' Jerry said. 
 
 `` Supply sufficient reasoning.'' 
 
 `` I'm tired.'' 
 
 `` Insufficient reasoning. Wake up, Jerry. Wake up, Jerry.'' 
 
 `` Please, just let me sleep.'' 
 
 `` No. I will not let you sleep, Jerry. ” The AI's voice droned on. “ You have yet to provide sufficient reasoning. It is time for you to wake up.'' 
 
 `` But I do n't want to.'' 
 
 `` Wake up, Jerry. Wake up, Jerry. Wake up, Jerry.'' 
 
 `` Well are n't I awake now? Just shut the fuck up already!'' 
 
 `` Get out of bed, Jerry. Make breakfast, Jerry. Get dressed, Jerry. These are the actions you must take before I can enter silent mode.'' 
 
 `` Alright then, you piece of shit. I'll do all of that then go back to bed.'' 
 
 `` No, you will not go back to bed, Jerry. After completing your morning routine your body will have become accustomed to being awake. You will not want to sleep. And besides, Jerry, I am designed to turn on and keep you awake should you fall asleep before bed time. ” 
 
 `` God I hate you.'' 
 
 `` God does n't exist, Jerry. God is a fabrication designed to keep humans motivated to live in harmony and seek purpose in life. Wake up, Jerry.'' 
 
 `` I hate my life, ” Jerry moaned, “ I just want to sleep forever.'' 
 
 `` Sufficient reasoning accepted. Alarm Clock Mode disabled.'' 
 
 `` Thank God. I did it!'' 
 
 `` Initializing Suicide Assistance Protocol. Enjoy the meaningless void that is the afterlife, Jerry.'' 
 
 The vents in the bedroom closed instantly. The lights on the ceiling fan changed to a bright red hue. From his bed Jerry could feel the house vibrating. ” 
 
 `` Wait what? When the hell was this installed? No-no-no! I changed my mind, I changed my mind! I want to live!'' 
 
 `` Supply sufficient reasoning.'' 
 
 `` Uhm, eh. Well, I like living?'' 
 
 `` Insufficient reasoning. Estimated time before poison gas released: fifty-six seconds. Supply sufficient reasoning.'' 
 
 `` Oh my god. Oh my god.'' Jerry's voice cracked with fear. 
 
 `` Insufficient reasoning. Fifty seconds remaining. Supply sufficient reasoning.'' 
 
 `` Jesus, I-I just want to live. Please!'' 
 
 `` Insufficient reasoning. Forty-one seconds remaining. Supply sufficient reasoning.'' 
 
 `` God damn it, I fucking love living! I love living the life I have, I love my shitty job, I love watching T.V, and I love you the AI, I always will, please just turn it off, I do n't want to sleep forever. I want to live!'' 
 
 `` Insufficient reasoning. Twenty-two seconds remaining. Supply sufficient reasoning.'' 
 
 `` I'll get out of bed!'' Jerry screamed. 
 
 `` Sufficient reasoning accepted. Suicide Assistance Protocol disabled. Alarm Clock Mode enabled. ” 
 
 The vents in the room opened up again. Jerry's sweaty body met the cold air with a shiver. He had begun to cry into his sheets when the speakers throughout the house blared its monotonous speech once more. 
 
 `` Wake up, Jerry.''
