"Ock,Ock,Ock" The rather strange noise of the alarm I had created. A wooden cube, with a bird perched on it. I have no idea what type of bird it was, but the metal functions inside of made it's wooden beak bang against the little tree beside it. Creating the tremendous noise it alarms right now. It took me months to make it, my father wanted it sold, I begged that he didn't. It was my personal item, not for the market, well I won that argument anyway. Robbie still lays lifeless besides me, I am surprised how nothing can wake him from his sleeping trance. I have never actually seen him awaken, I hope to never. Well it is 4am on the dot, time for morning jog. Pulling myself from the bed, I'd glance around the room. A great big oak wardrobe, sits besides the door, filled with mine and my brothers clothes. Swinging open the door, I'd retrieve the running gear, old work clothes of my fathers. A short-sleeved grey top and black shorts, which run to the top of my knees. They were once trousers, but slowly they tore, so my mother cut off the legs. I adopted them for my running gear.
Heading to the bathroom, encase the zombie in it's crypt does bat an eye at me getting changed, I'd shut the door gaining some privacy. Standing in front of the mirror, I'd look at myself. Last night I slept in just a pair of grey trousers, the night was rather warm. Staring at my torso, how pale it was, I needed more of the sun. Various scratches and faint scars ran up and down my body, from work and various childhood fights with my brother. Of course he always won. A slight roll of fat laid on my abdomen, how it got there I haven't a clue. Although the outline of my ribs could still be seen. Pulling on the grey shirt, my body was now hidden. Sliding off the trousers, i'd swap them for the shorts, before splashing my face with water from the faucets. Exiting the bathroom, i'd throw my trousers into my room, landing on my bed. A slight stir erupted from Robbie's bed, as his snoring grew ever so loudly. How I'd wish just to wake him up now, how annoyed he would be with me.
Turning my back to my bedroom, I'd walk downstairs.Sitting on a step, I'd slide my brown laced boots onto my feet. As always mother was there to greet me, still wearing her pajamas. A porcelain cup sat tightly in her hand, filled with whatever herbal warm drink she had made.
"What is it this time?" I asked her, the scent quite strong.
"Tomatoes." She smiled, taking a sip.The red fruit staining the top of her lip.
"So basically soup in a cup?"
The woman frowned at my remarks, as she scurried me out of the door.
"Be safe Renly, don't be long. Your father wants you ready at half five this morning." She'd say before shutting the door behind me. It isn't me my father should be worrying about getting ready, it is my brother. I doubt he'd be up at half five. Many workers start at three, or whenever the sun is awake. But my family is lazy, they prefer a lie in. Something I know many would beg for.
Beginning my run, i'd take the usual route. Through the alleys, along the fence. I'd stay away from where the lumbers were working, I know many would find me a nuisance, as I should be joining them. Heading between two houses, I'd keep the steady pace, moving my arms as I got my body warmed-up.
