Ah, a lizard.

It's happy looking down at me from the ceiling.

What a carefree life it has, eating mosquitoes and flies.

They must taste good.

It walks on my wonderful wooden ceiling-not a care in the world.

Blink.

Ah, an ant.

Oh no, I meant ants.

March, march, march.

Such a pretty line they have, although it isn't straight.

They look so peaceful. I blow a puff. Not anymore.

Blink.

Ah, the T.V. has been still for a while.

Lines, colorful lines. Red, green, blue, and yellow.

'Beeeeeeeeeep' it said.

'Oooooooooooh' I said.

Blink.

Ah, another ant.

Oh no, a stray ant.

What is it doing, marching on my arm like that?

Is it an Outcast? I put him back with the other ants. Not anymore.

Blink.

Ah, a sound,

a dripping sound.

'Plip, plop, plip, plop', what is my faucet trying to tell me?

Shut up. I don't speak faucet.

Blink.

Ah, my homework.

What? I have homework?!

Ah, yes I do.

Wait, maybe not.

Blink.

Ah, still...my homework.

I do have homework to do. 

My notebook looks nice and smooth, my pen too!

I doodle on a page. Tralalala~

Blink.

Ah yes, homework.

Why? Why? Distractions.

Distractions everywhere.

I love distractions.

Blink.

Ah, I fell asleep.

I'm having a lovely dream about cakes and ice creams.

Hmmm~ Parfaits, cakes topped with strawberries, and chocolate!

I'm hungry.

Tried to blink.

Ah, I woke up.

What's this gooey liquid on my chin?

Drool.

I'm starving.

Blink.

Ah, it's morning.

Wait, it's morning?!

I can see the sunlight seeping through my curtains.

Give me privacy sunlight. No peeking!

Blink.

Ah...my...homework.

It's too late.

Distractions, distractions everywhere!
