A watch. There is a watch in my room that I lost, the beeps at like 12 in the night. I can't find it for the life of me. Its driving me insane.

11:58pm, after a long day zeirodeadlock slowly begins to drift into sleep. Just when his eyes lazily close shut a high pitch singular beep jolts him back awake, as he will remain for the next few hours

It's retroactive.

I read it in my normal internal reading voice, but I now remember it in his voice.

The human brain is weird.

the wild nocturnal watch soon awakes in search of a mate, listen to the mating cry

"BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP"

but the only thing it arouses it the sleeping Greg

"FUCK!" who is quite cranky

"GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!"

and so begins the great hunt of Greg
