Her eyes flew open
And black fear
Sprang to life and jumped
From her pupils
Adrenaline pumped
Fast and hard
Into every breathing cell
Supercharging them
Killing some with demands
Animating her still body
Into a pliable marionette
She threw off the covers
Texted her boss an apology
And high-tailed her arse
Adrenaline still pumping
Out her front door
And off to work
Nearly an hour late
Sigh
You know what is even worse? Waking up…jumping out of bed in sheer panic….fully awake when a short time before you were all dreamy and drowsy and safe asleep?
Realising you had just woken up from a nap..and it’s later in the evening..and not actually morning OR it was the weekend. lol

I’ve had almost that happen, definitely the fear, but then looked again at the clock with eyes no longer sleep clogged and saw the “8” was actually a “3”. Yea, try to relax and go back to sleep. Right, sure. At least there was no texting then.
