1:24

Week 1 - Something O'Clock

So I was asleep the other night and was awakened by the sound of a gunshot, a really LOUD gunshot. But it wasn’t outside, it was both inside my head and outside, right next to my left ear.

I glanced over at the bedside table — it was 1:24 a.m. I got up in the morning and checked on both my kids; they were fine. So what? Why did I hear this sound? And what, if anything, did it mean?

It felt like a warning.
