5 minutes left.

My eyes follow the long thin red hand of the clock, it taunts me as it takes its small steps,

3, 2, 1


4 minutes left.

Time slows further the red hand waiting with a menacing smile,

3, 2, 1


3 minutes left.

The smallest hand has been sneaking stealing space to the finish line, 

3, 2, 1



2 minutes left.

Adrenaline is starting to flood through my bloodstream, my heart pumps faster,

3, 2, 1



1 minute left.

I can hear the ticking eco through my skull, it feels like eternity,

3, 2, 1


The bell rings.
