Jonas Part 85: Bittersweet Dreams

I set my alarm [on my cell phone], turned up my volume to maximum, and laid back down. I was finally drifting off to sleep, when the sound of a girl screaming ‘YOU ARE A MURDERER OF LOVE !!’ came shrieking from my phone. I had a text message.
I groaningly picked my phone up and looked at the screen.
‘From: Charlie
I didn’t do anything.
What are you talking about?’
I angrily pressed reply.
‘To: Charlie
You know what you did, psycho.
I SAID GOOD NIGHT .
Which most intelligent people interpret as BYE when typed in a text message when one is trying to SLEEP .’
send
I set my phone back down on the table and slowly drifted off to a fitful slumber.
