Excerpt From My Short Story, It's Time For Me to Fly


I was so annoyed. The questions kept flying from my mouth like I was cross-examining a witness on the stand. The delayed answers were incomplete. I waited for the follow-up, for an expansion on what barely qualified as an answer. An answer that would not have garnered a passing grade in school.

The longer I waited, the more my teeth suffered. Like dueling gladiators they clashed; the top and bottom battling in the middle, grinding against each other with increasing pressure. Exhausted my jaw relaxes. I exhale and my teeth part ways.


I've asked the same questions and received the same answers and yet I continue to allow the days of my life to pass, but not anymore, tempus fugit and it's time for me to fugit too.
