"Twelve A.M." Jen Wright read aloud, staring at the digital clock in the corner of her desktop computer screen.
Has it really been three hours? She wondered. Three hours ago, she'd been messaging her closest friend Maria about her "ingenious" idea. After she'd mentioned how she'd go about it, Maria had said "Brb." and promptly stopped responding-but that was hours ago, and she hadn't returned. With an offset jaw, she stood up, and immediately fell back onto her chair, as her knees gave out. Clearly, she shouldn't have been sitting for so long.

No matter how unnecessary such an early bedtime was, even on a Sunday night, it would be enforced. Once she got down the last painstakingly slow step, quiet clinking became audible from the kitchen.
