It all started with an unsettling chill down my spine. I tried to rationalize it, but the feeling only intensified. A sense of impending doom, like a gathering storm, began to envelop me. I knew in my gut, with a certainty, that something was terribly wrong. An icy terror gripped me, and I couldn't shake the feeling that this was more than just a bad dream. My most haunting nightmares were about to become my reality.

A Day I'd Like to Forget

It all started with my obnoxious phone ringing. I jumped out of bed and rolled over, but somehow still woke up feeling groggy. I stumbled into my cat/the dog/a pile of laundry and knew right then that this day was going to be terrible.

It just kept getting worse. I ate something that tasted like cardboard and was stuck in traffic. My boss yelled at me. By lunchtime, I felt like I was going to explode.

The rest of the day just felt like forever.

I got stuck in the rain and someone stole my wallet. Finally, I got home exhausted and just ordered pizza.
