Chapter 1: A Chaotic Awakening
Mark's day began in the worst possible way. The blaring sound of his alarm clock was conspicuously absent, and he jolted awake to the glaring realization that he had overslept. Groggily rubbing his eyes, he glanced at the clock: 8:45 AM.
"Oh no, I'm late!" he exclaimed, throwing off his covers and stumbling out of bed.
In his haste, he misjudged the distance to the dresser and stubbed his toe on the edge of the bed. "Ow! Great start, Mark," he muttered, hopping on one foot and grabbing his throbbing toe.
He dashed into the bathroom, almost slipping on the tile floor. Mark quickly brushed his teeth, though he managed to get toothpaste on his shirt in the process. He spat into the sink and hurried back to his bedroom to get dressed, only to find that his clean laundry was still in the dryer.
"Ugh, come on," he groaned, racing to the laundry room. He yanked open the dryer and hastily pulled out a pair of pants and a shirt. In his rush to put them on, he lost his balance and fell backward, landing with a thud.
Mark groaned, pulling himself up and trying again. This time, he managed to get his pants on but realized too late that he had put them on backward. "Really?" he said aloud, shaking his head. He quickly corrected his mistake and finally got dressed, though his shirt was inside out.
Rushing to the kitchen, Mark grabbed a piece of toast from the counter. "At least I remembered to make breakfast," he mumbled through a mouthful of bread. As he took a sip of coffee, he accidentally spilled it down the front of his shirt.
"Perfect, just perfect," he sighed, wiping at the stain with a dishrag. He glanced at the clock—8:55 AM. He had five minutes to get to his office, which was a good twenty minutes away.
Grabbing his keys and bag, Mark bolted out the door. He dashed to his car, only to find that it wouldn't start. "You have got to be kidding me!" he shouted, banging his head against the steering wheel.
With no other option, he decided to take the bus. He sprinted down the street, arriving just in time to see the bus pull away. "Wait!" he yelled, waving his arms frantically. The bus driver, seemingly oblivious, continued down the road.
Defeated, Mark began to walk, realizing he was definitely going to be late. As he trudged along, he felt the first drops of rain begin to fall. "Of course it would rain," he muttered, pulling his jacket tighter around himself.
By the time he arrived at his office, he was soaked, disheveled, and thoroughly exhausted. He pushed open the door and walked in, dripping water on the floor.
"Rough morning?" his coworker, Lisa, asked with a sympathetic smile.
"You have no idea," Mark replied, shaking his head. "My alarm didn't go off, I stubbed my toe, slipped while getting dressed, spilled coffee on myself, my car wouldn't start, missed the bus, and now I'm soaking wet."
