Railroad Street

1. Late Waking

I wake up home in my apartment, I don't know what time it is or whether I should get up to go to work, but I think yes. I have no urge to get up at all. My clock shows the wrong time, other clocks too, I don't know the time, I get a little frustrated. I am still in my bed, everything looks dark.
I share this house, there are my two brothers I believe who also live here. The down story is much larger, lighter, I do my own thing but my brothers are annoyed with me for not cleaning up, not in time, and not thoroughly enough when I do. 
At some point I look out of the window. In fact I don't want to get up and know the time, but there must be something I am bound to do today. When I look out I see many things, people run about the street as if it is early in the morning and they go to work. The street is broken up, for some reason the workmen are putting rails there. The whole street is already done, the cover scraped off, and rails instead. In the adjacent street as well. People wait because they don't know if they can pass, then someone does and all the rest follows. Then it's busy down there.
I realize I should be able to see the clock of the library tower. I try to look but it is just behind the buildings. I go back up the stairs to my bedroom, and through a small window there is a small opportunity to see the time, and it is already half past eleven. I should have gone out of doors a long time ago.
