Mashed sprinting

This week's 15-minute sprint is coming from a grumpy space! Well, we all have those moments, right? I hope you enjoy.

Write a mash-up character based on two or more people you know.

Sarah sighed. She could hear the voice of the youngest coming from the still dark bedroom next door. Glancing at the clock, she knew that she had half an hour before they would dare to come bother her. They used to come into her room as soon they woke - sometimes as early as four or five in the morning - but she’d gotten a clock she could set to change color when they were allowed to get out of bed. She stretched, reaching her arms above her head to touch the wall and pointing her toes toward the foot of the bed. She should get moving. Her eyes drifted closed.

“Mama, can I have breakfast? The clock is green.” The expectant eyes peered into her face as she blinked the sleep away.

“Mmph,” she managed.

“Mama, can we have cereal? I can pour it,” Tony asked. She lifted her head to squint at his voice, making out his fuzzy shape at the doorway.

“Yeah, do that,” she agreed. She dropped her head back on the pillow and heard the boys heading down the stairs. She’d give them a few minutes. Tony could get the cereal without making too much mess. Did they have milk? She couldn’t remember.

“Mama? Can I put the t.v. on?” She startled at Tony’s voice and opened her eyes again. The room was lighter.

“What time is it?” She squinted toward the clock again and sat up quickly. “Oh my gosh - school! You have to get dressed! We have to go!”

“We are dressed, Mama,” Tony said, shrinking out of the doorway as she bolted past him for the bathroom.
