Annoying as a Mosquito

 
 
To most people and alarm clock can be an object of joyful noise awakening them to an exciting new day. To me an alarm clock is more like an annoying mosquito flying around my head waiting for that right moment to strike its unsuspecting prey. The repetitive beeping of the alarm clock compares to that of the bothersome sound a mosquito makes when it is buzzing around one’s ear. The irritating noise can almost drive one to the brink of insanity. Sitting on top of my mild, ivory-colored dresser, my alarm clock, with its bold black body and luminous numbers, almost like glaring, green eyes staring constantly at my every move during the day, I can’t help but think th
 
 


I have won this battle for now-until the next day. It lays their motionless now, no glaring eyes and no more buzzing. In desperation, I slap it down to my floor, hoping that I have finally won, but to my dismay, it shocks me by biting my hand, letting me know that this battle isn't over; it has just begun. It seems that once I fall asleep, before I even begin to dream, my pesky little insect has already planned its upcoming attack. Clunk! With one strong swipe of my hand, my adversary plummets to the floor once more, its black buttons fling off and the insides of it seem to have fallen out. Before I know what's happening, the dreaded bug begins its alarming ritual once more, this time buzzing around on my dresser making sure that it gets my attention. When that happens, I strike the oddly shaped buttons on top of its head with my hand a couple of times, and it pretends to be dead. Ten minutes later, just as I am beginning to get comfortable in my soft bed, I hear beep. Determined to end this desperate confrontation, out goes my hand in search of this scheming little pest. This scene is repeated day after day, and remains just as aggravating as it was the first time it had begun.
