A loud buzzer filled the corridor with an unbearable noise. Josh was never the kind of person to pick an annoying ringtone just to wake himself up in the morning. He liked to take his time, and whether he was late or not never mattered.
Unfortunately for Josh, for the last three months, he had no say in what ringtone played each morning. He had no say in what hour he had to wake up, and he had no say in whether he stayed in bed or not.
Groaning, he got off the not-so-comfortable mattress and stretched. His body had been a little stiff lately, so he was considering exercise. Living in that three-by-four room had left him even less motivated than usual, so he was unlikely to muster the energy needed.
His room had no door. To be more precise, the door had slid aside soon after the annoying buzzer went silent, leaving the entrance open. Checking his fit, plain orange shirt, and pants, he stepped outside and stood inside the yellow square on the floor.
