The dim light from the 40 watt bulb in the overhead lamp is distracting. Its too dark, yet anything stronger would be too bright. I could adjust the lamp, but I need to finish this short story.
The clock is against me.
If I start writing something, maybe the floodgates will open. Good, good. I started to write. "Waiting for the break of day, ..."
Nothing more.
The clock is against me. I can hear it ticking. Its even a digital clock.
Its too warm in here. Or its too cold. One way and the other, no matter how I adjust the temperature, it is one or the other. My left foot starts to tap anxiously against the hardwood floors. The sound echoes through the otherwise empty room.
The clock...
Its late. I need sleep. Giving up, I close my eyes.
