Opening sample
First pass from the workshop. Not the ending.
The alarm blares, jarring you awake from a fitful sleep. You lie there, eyes heavy, mind foggy, struggling to remember why you set it for this hour. The clock reads 5:30 AM, a stark reminder of the new reality you've embraced. You reach for the water glass, the cold metal a sharp contrast to the warmth of your body. The taste is bitter, a reminder of the dehydration that sets in. You take a sip, the liquid washing down the dryness in your mouth. You swing your legs out of bed, the fabric of the sheets cold against your skin.
