Ticking Moments

In the Grip of Time

By Dinesh NandPublished about a year ago 1 min read

The hands of the clock crawl slowly over a pale white face.

Each tick echoes sharp and hollow through the quiet room.

Fingers rest against the cool wood of the chair’s edge.

A dry taste of anticipation lingers at the back of my throat.

The faint scent of polished wood rises with the still air.
