Thin fingers drumming the wooden desk
Echoing loudly in the silent room
This didn’t break her focus
As she watched the clock slowly click
A bead of sweat trickled slowly down her cheek
The anticipation was killing her
She bit her lower lip as she looked around the room
The alarm of the timer went off
Causing her to jump quickly from her chair
She rushed to the door swinging open wide
The smile plastered on her face faded
As she was met by emptiness
Hanging her head defeated she grabbed a black sharpie
She slowly added a grey line from the faded tip
Her eyes glazed as she saw the endless ticks on the wall
Too many to count
Days faded into months, weeks and years
She started the timer again
The countdown flashing behind her
Sitting in the chair she sighed
Hoping the next time the beeps filled the air
Would mean she wouldn’t be alone

Had me feel as if I was on the edge of my chair. Very nice.

Have I told you lately how much I love your words? If not, I love your words! You have such a masterful skill of painting a scene with your words and making us feel all of the emotions involved.
Bellissimo, Holly, Bellissimo!!!

Here’s a little suggestion for your wanting to write all day but having the real world intrude! Use the voice recording feature on your cellphone and then you can capture those little seeds of inspiration in those lost moments of waiting, stopped at a traffic light – those long ones etc. I have started to do that and have gotten quite a few Haikus that way. They are short and no one knows what you are doing tapping your fingers while you are waiting to see the Doctor, Dentist or anyone – and then you make a run for the restroom and put it down with audio.
So, if this helps to let you write more for us to read then I will be happy for us both!
Chuck
