The phone rings, or is it the doorbell?

I shake the sheets off my bare legs and search around in the dim light for my slippers, one of which is missing for good. Hobbling down the creaky steps littered with matchbox cars, candy wrappers and cat toys, I rub sleep from my eyes and try to straighten the mess of hair on my head with clumsy fingers.

I look through the peephole. No one is there. Maybe it was the phone.

In the kitchen, where I leave my phone charging overnight, the cats are waiting for their daily bread. A baby screams upstairs, and I rub my ear, coating my fingertip with earwax.

The phone has not charged. It is dead.

Maybe a car was honking outside. Or maybe it was a dream.

I run up the stairs, tripping over the third step and falling forward. Somehow my hand stops my fall before I am impaled by a Decepticon.

I open the door to the nursery, and the baby is fast asleep. I think about making an appointment to have my hearing checked. I open Tyler's door, and there he is, staring at me with wide, innocent eyes, a DS in his hands, the sounds of the universe coming from its speakers.

And then the alarm shrieks, and I hit snooze.
