Conflicted
There's a clock on the wall drowning out my heartbeat. In
a way that clock is my heartbeat. It holds the same power.
That power is life or death. Without treatment I'll die
for sure, but the operation is supposedly very risky. It means no one can truly
tell me if I should be scared or excited. I'm conflicted. Meanwhile the clock
keeps ticking.
My parents have left, taking their mindless prattle with
them. All I have to distract myself now is that clock. To give in and count the
seconds.
But I can't. Because I'm unsure of which direction.
