12:00am
My eyes fluttered open suddenly. The feeling of scrawny  legs crawling over my face wasn't  a dream. I could  actually  feel it now I that  I was half awake. Immediately, I slapped my face, only  to hear a small buzz of flapping wings escaping  my hand.

Waking up to feel a cockroach crawling on your face is as disgusting as you pictured  it. 

Irritated, I charged for the light switch,  flicking it up to flood my room  with the whiteness of a fluorescent bulb.  I spotted the cockroach  perched  on the rough painted yellow wall. And without wasting time,  I fished  a shoe from my wardrobe  and smacked the darn cockroach down to the floor,  before stomping it with  the sole of the shoe. Grey liquid splattered underneath it.

I couldn't sleep again , so I decided to watch YouTube videos.

5:12am
My alarm starts ringing out, but  I was  temporarily deaf to the disturbing  sound.
