Do not disturb - The Ottawa Herald

I wake up in a relative’s apartment in another time zone to a beeping sound. It’s 4 a.m. That’s 3 for me. And it sounds like…yes…it is. An alarm clock is going off in the apartment below. It beeps and it beeps and it keeps on beeping. And after twenty minutes of beeping, I assume the neighbor is either dead or not at home, in which case he’ll wish he was dead when he gets home.
