Five minutes left.

She was running out of time. The deadline coming closer and closer.

Her hands brushed across the keyboard not keeping up with her brain.

Almost there almost there-

Splash

Her elbow knocked her coffee over, slowly pooling over her desk.

No!

Four minutes left.

She grabbed her laptop and ran over to her kitchen counter.

Then she ran back with paper towels.

No, no, no!

All her documents, pages and pages of notes soiled.

Her years of work.

She dried dabbing as much of the coffee up as she could before grabbing the most important sheet.

3 minutes left.

She ran back to her laptop with the sheet and tried to keep up, racing against the clock.

Faster, faster, faster.

Her cat started meowing the moment a car alarm went off.

The noise was shattering.

A knocking started at the door. Her friend was early.

The laptop was spinning and her friend was at the door.

She raced to the door and tripped over her laptop charger, pulling it right out of the wall.

She fell flat on her face.

She crawled along the floor and reached for the charger to put back in the plug.

1 minute left.

She unlocked the door and raced back to her laptop.
