The alarm sounded but Henry didn't stir from his deep slumber. In fact, it was good five minutes before the constant beeping began to drive him more and more insane. Slamming the palm of his hand down as he turned in his bed, the alarm stopped mid-beep and he sighed to himself. It was the last morning that he would spend in his own home, the comfort of his own bed and the privacy of his own room before being shipped off to the boarding school that his parents decided was supposedly better for him.
Rolling out of bed, his feet found the well-placed slippers on the boarded floor. He stood up, stretched and looked out of his small window to the fields that surrounded the small cottage in which he lived. In the distance he could see Mr. Dyson tending to his cows. It was a daily thing and was usually accompanied by his son, but, as Henry imagined, he was probably waking to the exact same feeling that Henry himself had now; a feeling of utter hopelessness.
