Earthquake!
I was dreaming about death and destruction reigning down in the form of a massive earthquake when I was awoken by an alarm that I’d never heard before. In my grogginess, I swear I felt my apartment building sway and start to crumble, heard the screams of my neighbors as they were crushed to death in their own beds. Yesterday’s little tremor was just a warm-up for the catastrophe that I had the nerve to almost sleep through.
Then, with sleep fading and reality setting in, I realized that the unfamiliar alarm was the intercom. The front desk was calling and the guy was here to hook up my internet connection. Buildings weren’t falling and no one was dying. Paranoid much?
