t
was
a
day
that
started
with
promise
but
quickly
turned
into
a
series
of
unfortunate
events
for
Tom
.
It
began
with
him
waking
up
late
due
to
a
power
overnight
,
causing
his
alarm
clock
to
reset
and
run
.
Rushing
to
get
ready
,
he
in
the
dark
and
twisted
his
.
"
Ouch
!
"
he
exclaimed
,
bumping
his
against
the
door
frame
as
he
hobbled
into
the
bathroom
.
To
make
matters
worse
,
the
bathroom
was
because
of
a
leaking
pipe
that
burst
overnight
.
"
Great
,
just
great
,
"
he
muttered
,
trying
to
avoid
stepping
into
the
puddle
.
Feeling
frustrated
,
he
hurried
to
the
kitchen
to
make
coffee
,
only
to
find
that
the
sink
was
and
wouldn't
drain
properly
.
Ignoring
the
kitchen
disaster
for
now
,
Tom
dashed
out
to
his
car
,
only
to
discover
that
someone
had
one
of
the
windows
during
the
night
.
"
What
else
could
go
wrong
?
"
he
wondered
aloud
,
noticing
a
on
the
side
of
his
car
.
He
sighed
heavily
and
tried
to
start
the
engine
,
but
the
car
wouldn't
-
it
had
run
of
petrol
.
Frustrated
and
running
late
,
Tom
decided
to
walk
to
work
.
As
he
was
crossing
the
street
,
he
over
a
loose
paving
stone
and
fell
,
his
coffee
all
over
his
favorite
T
-
shirt
.
"
Seriously
?
"
he
groaned
,
now
sporting
a
coffee
on
top
of
everything
else
.
Finally
arriving
at
work
,
he
realized
he
had
left
his
keys
at
home
and
had
himself
out
of
both
his
apartment
and
his
car
.
"
Today
is
just
not
my
day
,
"
he
muttered
to
himself
,
nursing
a
eye
from
the
fall
.
To
top
it
all
off
,
his
computer
at
work
kept
,
making
it
nearly
impossible
to
get
anything
done
.
By
the
end
of
the
day
,
Tom
was
utterly
exhausted
and
bruised
,
but
he
managed
to
laugh
it
off
with
his
colleagues
over
a
drink
,
reflecting
on
the
absurdity
of
his
day
.
"
Tomorrow
can
only
be
better
,
"
he
said
optimistically
,
hoping
for
a
smoother
day
ahead
.
