My poor, short life
In a room
A very lonely room
Surrounded by TNT
In minutes it will explode
Sitting there
Staring at the TNT in fear
My life flashing before my eyes
Thinking about my family
My house
My dog
I must escape!

With five minutes left on the timer
Tick – Tick – Tick
Faster
Faster
Tick – Tick – Tick
I must
Escape!

The feeling
The feeling in my stomach
It hurts
The feeling
Of fear
20 seconds left on the timer
Tick – Tick – Tick
Thinking, so many thoughts in my head
5 4 3 2 …

As the last second approaches
… Time seems to slow down …
I clench my teeth…
Cli-…

I open my eyes
I’m still alive?
How can this be?
I look at the timer on the TNT
It says low battery
Yes! I yell,
I am alive!
