Time Management
I have to be on time
must be there by nine
something happened
forgot to turn off oven
I can't be late
go back, oven not on
see light on in hallway
dash to switch off
okay, can't be late
out the door
traffic jam, horns,sirens
news, bombing?, closer
what's that?
smoke,screams,
crying, running
clock-9:05
I'm late
