Jon drifted awake while his phone alarm started blaring. As he slowly rose into full consciousness, he took a moment to change the alarm tone from a red alert tone from Star Trek to the cliched buzz alarm. He could have sworn he had done this already, because the last time he watched an episode of Star Trek he had been jarred by the feeling that he needed to get ready for school.
He tried to remember the fleeting details of the dream he'd just had. Something about getting hit by a truck?
Jon immediately jerked fully awake with panic. "Holy shit! Am I in a time loop?" Jon muttered to himself as he started getting ready. When he prepared for his shower, he took care to ensure the towel would be in reach, and decided against wearing the slacks and polo. While he decided what he would wear next, he sent Karyn a message in WhatsApp.
Jon: "I think I'm in a time loop. I'm bringing the stone today."
Karyn: "What did you wish for?"
Jon: "I don't think I did!"
Karyn: "It's Groundhog day! What the fuck did you wish for?"
