Finally the slumbering brain revives, reboots, rejoices. Fingers wield frantic pens, a frenzy of sqiggles spreading tentacles across the paper like an octopus after its prey. Words of knowledge, understanding and creativity careering along on a magical pathway to the future...
The sounds of sighs, coughs, hair flicking, fingers clicking, paper rustling like birds in the undergrowth. The click-click of a ballpoint, frustration hanging in the air, inspiration playing hide 'n' seek in the clouded mists of the mind. A mosaic of memories, fragments of ideas, a jigsaw in the head, pieces waiting to fit somewhere, somewhere...

This brought back so many memories of exams past (some even passed). I remember the silence that fell on the room once the writing began. 24/10/2021 05:59:13 am
This is gorgeous. I love the words themselves, and the way they feel together. It's very poetically written! Also, the combination of visual and auditory details is lovely. Comments are closed.
