Another Morning,
she woke up with the sound of an alarm clock you know the one, that deafening Buzz, heard somewhere it is actually bad for the heart. apparently 30 % of all heart attacks occur in the morning. Still, she gets out of bed and goes through her usual routine, almost in a zombie state, kicking over an empty dog bowl as she heads for the shower. Still dark outside . slightly depressed at the thought of this but looking forward to seeing the first light as it pushes through the darkness. That part she looks forward to ..Her happiest time of the day. It makes her feel like a child again. For a moment all her worries, any anxiety or money problems seem insignificant with that sound of birds chirping outside her window. Secretly she believes they sing for her. Who knows, maybe they do.
As she opens the bathroom door the sound of google assist on her phone playing the latest news bulletin in the background resonating through her bedroom wall. More about the corona virus. She rolls her eyes and hurries into the shower cubicle not wanting to hear any more lies.. breakfast is a bowl of special K with strawberries . A splash of soya milk, tescos own ; the only one she seems to like the taste of. One boiled egg which has to be truly free range. She dips her spoon into the yolk, smiling to herself remembering that moment she overheard her neighbour and the "farm man " selling her the benefit of eating eggs that come from his uncles farm. A farm where the chickens are free to roam around in half an acre of field. She knows when someone is lying and when they're not. Especially men. The bus stop is literally across the street from her and the bus although never on time eventually turns up and gets her to work on time.
The last thing she remembers is the bus speeding towards her at a terrifying speed, the look of panic and horror on the drivers face as he slams on the breaks his eyes wide with fear. An eye witness later describes a woman running across the road into an oncoming bus holding a puppy. The owner standing on the pavement left holding a lead in shock, tears streaming, screaming her name.....she needn't have worried. The puppy survived.
Google assistant plays the news the following morning to an empty house. " Hero dies trying to save puppy as it manages to slip the owners lead and run into the road. The noise of the bus engine had apparently frightened it."... " The sound ricochets off an empty dog bowl, that only yesterday she had kicked while trying to get to the bathroom. Birds chirping outside her bedroom window. They sing just for her.
