Fiction: A Typical Unruly Lady

By -
"Grrrrrrr!!!!",a high decibeled sound filled the room. Petrified, a young lady screamed and jumped out of bed. She steps on something slippery and falls to the ground. She scrambled to her feet,heading for the fire extinguisher,she stops almost at once.

"Oh!", she exclaimed, realizing it was her new alarm clock. "Aarrgh! I hate you", she yelled,as she tossed the alarm clock aside.

This alarm clock was fast becoming a nuisance, it was extremely loud. It was the most ridiculous birthday present ever. She had received the clock on her 25th birthday from Miss Coal, the HR manager, who was so tired of writing queries, due to her lateness to work.

 She was still feeling sleepy, but she knew better than to go to bed. She had a quick shower and went to her wardrobe, her towel properly tucked around her.
"What am I going to wear now?", she asked herself. Still not sure of what she wanted, she began tossing
clothes out of her closet. In a splits second,her room was like a madman's quarters.
" This should do",she yelled in frustration,It was an evening gown.
"Shoes!!!", she cried. She sprang to her feet and made for her shoes rack. She picked an Egyptian sandals. Breathing a sigh of relief, she said to herself," what will I do with me?"

She got dressed briskly, got her handbag and was ready to step out, when a pang of hunger struck her stomach.
With the speed of lightning,she made breakfast; A toast and a bowl of cereal. She was still eating,when a quick glance at her wristwatch,made her realize, where she ought to be. "Oh dear! 25 minutes to resumption", she cried.

"Good Gracious! I made it ", she said to herself,as she hopped out of her car. "Good morning", she greeted,a cleaner in the parking lot,as she headed for the elevator.

"Emily", a voice called. She turned around to see who it was. "Oh! Good morning,Miss Coal",She greeted. " Good morning,Emily. You're late. I guess,you'll be needing a fire service siren."
"Don't be ridiculous, I'm no sleepyhead."

Here he lay on his partly covered bed like a log of wood. He rolled like a stone that gathers no moss. At about 7.30, an alarm went off in his head. Yawning and stretching lazily, he rose from his slumber with a slight headache and a feeling of nausea; A hangover-- The result of his excessive drinking the previous night. Used to the symptoms already as every pregnant woman was used to morning sickness. He took off his pajamas and went through a pile of clothes on the floor by his bed, searching for something to throw on. He was about to step out. Walking down the street, he exchanged pleasantries with almost everyone he came across; His Peeps. He had know 'em, since he was a lad. "Uncle Taofeek!" A voice called. He turned to see who it was. It was Bintu, The Food Vendor's daughter. "Bintu, how are you? " Taofeek smiled broadly. "I'm fine, Sir. Mama said I should call you to come check the freezer." Bintu said. "What's the m...

     It was on one of those evenings.I had just gotten to my Sharwarma Stand. Humming some soft tunes unintelligibly. I had this gut feeling, something good was going to come my way. "Lots of customers", I almost exclaimed.     I set out to put my stand in order. Sauting my marinated chicken, I took a cursory glance at the already setting sun. To my utmost surprise, it was smiling  down at me. " OMG",I screamed.     My first customers were a couple. There was something strikingly obvious about the duo, they were so much in love with each other. The way they giggled as they walked back to their car left me saying, "I go love o."    Taking momentary glances down the road from time to time,I flashed my cutest smile at anyone who cared to look in my direction. My cool way of advertising to my prospective customers.    It was getting dark outside now. The Sun had handed over to the moon. I could not see the faces of people...
