Flash Fiction #680 -- A true story

 

When I woke up, I saw the clock said it was almost five. Since the clock was off by three hours (power outage), it was actually close to eight. This was far later than I had intended. I got up, fed the creatures, and did some cleaning around the place. 

Then, I decided to fix dinner before I sat down to do any computer work. I was just sitting down at the desk when I thought it seemed awfully bright for this late in the day. I realized I must have messed up my timing somewhere. So, I asked Alexa what time it was.
