I slam my hand down on my alarm clock. 7:32.61Please respect copyright.PENANAGlaIe9G1ui
Ugh, I have a test today.61Please respect copyright.PENANAJxMOEjRgYA
I throw my legs over the edge of my bed and quickly get ready for school.61Please respect copyright.PENANAnTlh9ImfVP
Mom's shoes are still by the door. She should've left by now. Maybe she isn't feeling well.61Please respect copyright.PENANAzBsPCugs7N
The walk to school is weirdly similar to yesterday's.61Please respect copyright.PENANArIkPo1WO7V
Mr. J is watering his garden and glares at me again as I pass by.61Please respect copyright.PENANAd642EAd5O5
Auntie Kate's dog, Chewbacca is running loose again while she stumbles after him.61Please respect copyright.PENANAY0mvZ3ugL8
A bird flies overhead and poops right in front of me.61Please respect copyright.PENANAChLx3ut1DU
Such specific things happening again ... it has to be a coincidence. Right?61Please respect copyright.PENANAN7Gy7WbTBR
When I get to school, I head to my first hour B day class. I notice kids from the A day class filing in which confuses me.61Please respect copyright.PENANAjT4XHzm03p
When the bell rings, Mrs. Sandler tells me I'm in the wrong class.61Please respect copyright.PENANAGvGsBV0npH
What? But that doesn't make sense. Yesterday was an A day. I rush to my A day class, still trying to figure out what happened. Maybe what I thought was yesterday was just a dream.61Please respect copyright.PENANAvOlBRz8F97
I sit down in my seat after being marked absence and notice that the date on the board is the same as yesterday.61Please respect copyright.PENANASr3uHg1HEC
5/11/24.61Please respect copyright.PENANAnLGAOwe7uq
I raise my hand to correct it, but the teacher says that it's the right date. I try to shake it off but as the day progresses, I notice that everything else is the same as 'yesterday'. People have the same conversations with me, do the same actions, and the test that I was supposed to take doesn't happen.61Please respect copyright.PENANAXkHHGDPMfB
It's okay. It's all just one big prank because maybe I forgot someone's name. Once I go to sleep, I'll wake up and everything will be back to normal.61Please respect copyright.PENANAYBjWc7Ffu1
The minutes tick by agonizingly slow. I look at the clock. 11:48---61Please respect copyright.PENANAa69lgMIns2
Suddenly it's 7:32 and my alarm is beeping again. Did I fall asleep that quickly?61Please respect copyright.PENANAa43JJJRcId
A few more todays pass until I realize that the day is repeating. Over and over and over. A time loop.61Please respect copyright.PENANApXmpbkWf1q
At one point I even try to research ways to stop it, but no matter what, nothing works. I give up after a few months of that.61Please respect copyright.PENANAMBVxb2nWlV
Seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months pass. I try to vary them the best I can with my own actions, but at some point, everything starts blurring into one big mess.61Please respect copyright.PENANAsrJzgDAriD
On the 365th day I decide to go somewhere I've been too scared to go.61Please respect copyright.PENANAbwCXtpDeHE
The night before the time loop started I went to an event with my friends. Afterwards they requested that I come with them to a park to hang out and meet up with a different group. I refused. Said I was too scared that I'd get in trouble and that the other people would cause trouble.61Please respect copyright.PENANAMYyIh2RTjy
I should've ended up at that park at around the same time I transfer to the next today. 11:48 PM. Well that surely can't be a coincidence.61Please respect copyright.PENANA5tGyWlJyGA
Up until today I've been to every part of the city. I'm not going trying to get my hopes up, but something about this place ...61Please respect copyright.PENANAHy6cua4Xe8
I walk over to a sculpture that's lit by a dim warm light. I slide down to the concrete and check the time on my phone. 11:46.61Please respect copyright.PENANAKJWgoLCTMT
I rest my head back and look up at the light post where moths and flies buzz energetically around the bulb. Crickets chirp softly in the near distance and there's a soft pair of footsteps. I'm surprised anyone is out this late.61Please respect copyright.PENANAfxIsYvmLDr
I look down at my phone again. 11:47.61Please respect copyright.PENANAhlMFIAIwad
I look back up as the footsteps grow louder. A boy around my age approaches before sitting down across from me, smirking in a silly manner.61Please respect copyright.PENANApU4ohbDopk
"Hey," he says.61Please respect copyright.PENANAj9a0aGuYKF
I wave softly. In a minute he'll be gone. This is the furthest I'll ever get to talk to him.61Please respect copyright.PENANABaoi2zUBLS
"I haven't seen you here before." He stuffs his hands in his pockets, his eyes fixed on me.61Please respect copyright.PENANAhUHOJjfVlW
"Uh, yeah, it's my first time coming here," I say, scratching the back of my neck. This minute is going by agonizingly slow, but when I wake up it'll feel like it went by in a flash.61Please respect copyright.PENANA4szWV2LU5e
"I know. I've been watching you every today when I realized you were stuck in the time loop but with your own will. I followed you here."61Please respect copyright.PENANAzqRYZjnrej
My heart speeds up. What? He's stuck too? Could this be the way out? Us meeting? Will we finally be free of this misery?61Please respect copyright.PENANAQaoRYnL2ux
"Do ... do you think this is how we get out of it? Why didn't you approach me sooner?" I ask, scooching closer. This is what feels like the first real conversation I've had in forever. My heart is beating as fast as the speed of light.61Please respect copyright.PENANABwXnNYErl0
"That's what I assumed since you're the only other concious person I've met." He smiles as I sit next to him.61Please respect copyright.PENANA0HmF5U1SLr
"I can't believe we're going to get out of he---"61Please respect copyright.PENANAdbQs3v6WqI
