No Safe Place

Beep beep beep beep! I rolled over in my warm bed and hit the snooze button on the alarm clock. stretching I picked up my phone from my nightstand and scroll through Tumblr for a while. Beep beep beep beep! I turned off my alarm clock then sat up in my bed and put on my fluffy white slippers then trudged over to the bathroom and washed my face. Feeling more awake I trotted down the stairs, suddenly the lights flickered, I paused and went back up to my room and grabbed a flashlight from my desk, just in case the lights went out. When I went down stairs the TV was left on from my mother, she had been watching the news. I walked into the kitchen and poured myself a bowl of Lucky Charms, then read the note that my mom had left for me on the fridge. “ good morning Audrey, wash the dishes and sweep today please.” When I was finished my cereal I washed all the dishes and then swept the house like I was asked. Before I went back up to my room I went to turn off the TV.
