The Shock Of Life

As Henry woke up this morning, he realized that his time of heaven was over. He finally crashed at 4 in the morning after 8 hours of partying. He drank, smoke, and partied like a crackhead should. He woke up with a hangover like his head was gonna split in two. He realized that he isn't gonna have another party till next week. He sighed in depression as he looked at the clock and he realized that it was 12 o'clock on a monday. He had to go to work, but first, he went to get some cofee to get himself up. After getting his cup of life, he went his way toward the subway. He realized that nothing's changed since high school, dreadful mondays, high time weekends. He pondered for the longest time until he realized he was going to be late and hurried through the checkpoint to catch his ride.
