KNOCK

Imagine yourself studying alone in the living room. You looked at the grandfather's clock and it's almost 12:00 am. It's dark and your only source of light is the lampshade beside you. You have to study for the upcoming exam but you're already tired and sleepy, so you closed your eyes for a while.

your jaw clenched,

your pupils dilated,

your chest got heavier,

droplets of sweat formed on your forehead.
