Warm golden light streamed through and fell upon Alexander's sleeping face. He squinted at the stimulation as he moved his arm towards his face, trying to escape whatever was burning it, before finally opening his eyes, taking in the sights of the room.
'Oh, damnable daystars.... the same as usual.."
"What time is it?" Alexander grumbled as he shifted on his bed rubbing his eyes, looking to see a digital clock sitting on top of his dresser and he saw that it was 6:30 in the morning.
He lifted his upper body from the mattress and yawned, stretching out both arms and legs before looking at his wife sleeping soundly beside him. He smiled at the sight and turned away from her, standing up from the bed carefully so as to not wake her up, and headed towards the bathroom.
As soon as Alexander walked into the bathroom, he turned on the shower as he climbed inside the tub, and sat under the warm rain, sighing contently at the feeling.
