A God awful buzzing sound disturbed her slumber. It had taken her ages to get to sleep and now something irritating had her awake and annoyed. She pulled the extra pillow over her right ear and tried to smash her head in between the two.

A haze of smoke hung over the hallway. The loud buzzing was the fire alarm going off non-stop. Other people started filing into the hall too, trying to figure out what all the racket was.
