Flash 55, Take 27

I had already given you your wakeup call,
so I was surprised when I felt the bed jiggle
an hour later as you got up to leave.

I rolled over chastising you for not getting up
and noticed that you weren't there.

Why did the bed shake?

I think I've been watching too much television.

This morning I was awakened by the bed shaking, like when Mr. Sign gets out of bed. I rolled over and started to tell him he was late when I realized he wasn't there.

I tried to tell myself that I must have been dreaming that the bed moved and went about getting ready for the day. The local news was on as I was getting dressed and low and behold, they were reporting that an earthquake had been felt in Mid-Michigan at 5:36 AM.

Whew! I wasn't crazy! At least not about this.
