SLEEP

I slowly open my eyes and I saw Avril Lavigne staring down at me. I jolted upright upon seeing her pretty eyes emphasized by her very dark eyeliner which I think was a little too much. And then I realized it was just my poster taped on my ceiling. I'd have to constantly remind myself to remove that poster so it won't startle me whenever I wake up at midnight.

Yes, I wake up at midnight.
And I never really know why.
It just started a couple years ago. I glanced at the bedside table to check my alarm clock that my Mom gave me on my birthday last year. She always gave me alarm clocks since I was a passionate sleeper. I don't complain though, cause the alarm clocks she gave me were actually kinda cool. Mickey's shorter glow in the dark hand points at one while the longer hand points at 2.

1:10 am.
A little late than my usual waking-up-at-the-middle-of-the-night.

plop..

I felt something cold at the top of my head.
"what was that?" I asked to myself as I reached to touch my head.

It was water.

I looked up and saw that there was water dripping water from the ceiling, My Avril Lavigne poster was now wet.
There probably was a leak or something.
I stared at the poster for too long until the water was flowing like a waterfall.

I panicked.
It slowly filled my room.
I ran to my door (and as cliché as it sounds) it won't budge.

I tried to scream but no sound came out, I probably looked like a lunatic banging on my door with my mouth open wide as though I was screaming.

The water is now knee-deep.
