Stop!
When My Pen Stops Flowing.
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
The clock is still ticking and I'm still writing.
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
I barely hear it, and I am on my 20th page now.
I check the clock, it's almost 3 A.M. in the morning.
"I started at 8:30 A.M. yesterday morning, where did the day go?" I ask myself.
"A few more pages, then I'll stop!" I tell myself, but the clock still ticks and my pen is on automatic.
I check the clock again.
Tick-tock, tick tock!
Still ticking!
Now, there is no ink left in my pen.
It's time for me to go to my bed!
