short story about a short temper.
i was laying on my cot, in my holiday inn room, just trying to fall asleep. It was 12:30 and i heard a door in the hall way slam. My next door traveler had just made it home. She must have been my age, and her father must have been like mine. Their voices vibrated the walls, at first it was enough for me to just listen to like a lullaby humming me to sleep. i got the jist of the story. she was suposed to be home by 10:00, just a little late. it reminded me of myself and how not on time i always am. i laughed and continued to let them hum me to sleep. then the vibrations got stronger, she was yelling, he was screaming at the top of his lungs and i was awake. this just all didnt go together. his voice kept screaming"I SAID TEN O'CLOCK , I SAID TEN O'CLOCK" Now this wasnt a lullaby anymore, it was keeping me awake. Id been up since 8. all i wanted was a nice nights rest on the cot that was too small for me,"I SAID 10 O'CLOCK" the room that smelled, "I SAID 10 O'CLOCK" my family that were snoring, "I SAID 10 O'CLOCK"the cold air conditioning that the blankets couldnt cover."I SAID 10 O'CLOCK" I had enough, "I SAID TEN O"CLOCK!!!!!!" it was the loudest, i debated if he was going to kill the girl, it sure sounded like it. I got up and opened the door to see if they were in the hallway. It was empty, they were in the room next door with the door closed and the hallways echoed just as bad as my walls. My mom woke up whispering "Therese, what are you doing?" I walked out into the hallway, taking a deep breath, and vibrating every vocal chord in my throat i decided to let him know "IT'S NOT FUCKING 10 O'CLOCK, SO SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".My voice dominated the hotel and all was silent for the rest of the night.
