4 down - 2 to go

tick tock tick tock
the shuffling of papers
someone coughs gently
a blank page

torturous silence
heads down
pens scratching on tables
tick tock tick tock

minutes slide into hours
the sky is beautiful outside
four walls but no door
until...

tick tock tick tock
pens down!!
sigh of relief; it's over...
4 down - 2 to go
