It all started with a prickling sensation down my spine. I tried to dismiss it, but the feeling only grew. A sense of impending doom, like a gathering storm, began to consume me. I knew in my gut, with a certainty, that something was terribly wrong. My intuition screamed me, and I couldn't shake the feeling that this was more than just a bad dream. My most haunting nightmares were about to become my reality.

My Most Terrible Day

It all started with the sound of my neighbor yelling. I worst jumped out of bed and rolled over, but somehow still woke up feeling groggy. I tripped over my cat/the dog/a pile of laundry and knew right then that this day was going to be terrible.

It just didn't stop there. I burnt my breakfast and was stuck in traffic. My boss gave me a huge project. By lunchtime, I felt like I needed a vacation.

The evening just felt like forever.

A flat tire and I missed my train home. Finally, I collapsed on the couch and just ordered pizza.

Bottom of the Barrel
