This daily ordeal reflects the fragility of our free will against the tyranny of sleep.

Keywords

alarm clock

An alarm clock is a tiny despot that mercilessly slays the enemy called sleep with its bell chimes. It attacks the drowsiness lurking in the darkness, stripping away human free will before dawn. Symbolizing days governed not by choice but by malfunctions and obsessive alarm compulsion. With morning hatred, it repeats its sermon in tone, forcing one to decide whether to rise or slump back into oblivion. Its sole purpose is to 'wake you,' yet for most, it is a form of torture.

hydration

Hydration is the ritual of briefly transforming the body's desert into an oasis. Sweet tea during meetings or sports drinks after exercise are treated like sacred rites. The health zealot who cries 'Stay hydrated!' and the colleagues silently resisting the pressure engage in a quiet battle. Regardless of actual benefits, drinking water is a fantastical remedy that momentarily satisfies the desire for comfort and self-control.
