ISB's morning alarm

Time: 6.30 AM
A loud screech fills my room. I sit up, jolted out of my senses.
What the FUCK on earth was THAT!?!!
As I force my eyes open, I see something sitting on the window. I rub my eyes in disbelief. Am I dreaming!??
I keep staring. Knowing that I am awake, the thing moves away and sits close to the window. To confirm that I am not dreaming, I reach out for my phone and take a picture.
And yes, I wasn’t dreaming. There was a peacock on the window!

PS:
Dear Peacock,
I appreciate your visit. However, next time, THINK before waking me up at 6.30. I shall not be responsible for the consequences.
Yours truly,
Sleep-loving me
