100 Word Challenge Week One
The ticking of a clock grows relentlessly louder. Tick, tock, tick, tock. It’s like a nail is being driven into my head, distracting and intrusive. I stare up at the ceiling, eyes unfocused.
Everything looks blurry. A car passes outside the window. Suddenly, tires squeal against the
pavement. Everything is eerily quiet. The clock has fallen silent. I stand up, looking out the
window and gasping. Everything stopped, and it’s almost too quiet. Snowflakes suspended
in the air, the nearby river stilled, cars just seconds from crashing into each other. The entire
world is paused. Everything except for me.
That was my first post for the 100 Word Challenge. Thanks for reading!

Hi! I can’t believe this is only 100 words! It is so descriptive and I love all of the figurative language. I also wrote a short story for the challenge.
I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Great job!
