When the alarm goes off in the morning

I usually turn on Good Morning America and listen to the "news" as I wake up.

On sleepier mornings, it doesn't work out so well. Sometimes I fall asleep again. And sometimes I exist in a weird, half-conscious world.

The other morning was one of those mornings.

And when I finally woke up, I vowed to look up a news story that I'd heard as I was waking myself up.

I came into the office and started googling. And I googled and googled.

I found nothing.

Which is odd. I can see the entire newsreel in my head.

Which means... I fabricated the whole story (newsreel, supers, news crawl, voice overs).

Turns out, SELF-PROCLAIMED SHOE ADDICT FOUND MURDERED IN HOME is not a real story.

Though it is a revealing peek into my subconscious.
