Madelyn I woke up so late wondering why I didn't hear the alarm. My hand searched for my phone on the nightstand where I had plugged before going to bed. I noticed it was dead. Not low battery, not hanging on with one percent, just completely off. I pressed the power button twice before I realized what was wrong. I reached for my charger on the bedside table out of habit, my fingers brushing empty wood. I frowned and looked properly this time. No charger. I bent down, checked the floor, checked the other side of the bed, even pulled the drawer open though I already knew I did not keep it there. I stood up slowly, irritation creeping in. I never misplaced my charger. Never. I walked into the bathroom, checked the counter, the shelf, even the socket near the mirror. Nothing. I went back
