Morning Commute

At 6:50AM vexing howls chimed throughout the Brooklyn home. It was sound of Irving’s mother trying to wake up his noncompliant younger sisters so they could get ready for school. He immediately thought to himself “I need to move out already”. As he looked at his phone he realized that he had slept through his alarm and was going to be late for work. He dashed into the shower then hopped in a Cab using a free credit he’d received in order to get there on time. During the ride he gave the driver specific directions to avoid any standstills in traffic. The driver told him that he seemed to have “a strong sense of urgency”. He snickered and replied that it wasn’t the first time he’d been told that; he was often in a rush to get somewhere or to get something done. That morning It was a lot chillier than the day before but it was alright because Irving enjoyed the brisk chill. He got to his morning job at his former school with less than a minute to spare. This made him was really anxious, however, ironically he had a peculiar sense of excitement realizing he would get there just in time. At 9AM he finished up and headed to the subway station. The walk was a bit long but luckily he had his favorite app Spotify to shuffle his favorite rap playlist. He then entered a brief state of tranquility, the first since he had woken up.
