There must be a light under the bushel!

Teeth grinding, gut clenching

The pin-prickling needles as a sneeze builds up force...

The skipped heartbeat when you realize the yellow light turned to red and it's too late to stop...

The seeping of water through a soaking sock...

Mixing ingredients for a meal, only to realize you're out of the last item in the recipe...

Having your favorite show cut off by the President's address...

Anxiously answering the phone, only to have a telemarketer on the other end of the line...

The first cramps as a charlie horse gains momentum...

Having a great first date end with a bad kiss...

Listening to your favorite song on the radio through the static of a fading signal...

Sitting on the porch to watch a storm that never comes...

The second before pulling off a band-aid that is welded to the hair on your skin...

Taking a test when you don't know the answers...

Being handed a baby that immediately starts crying...

Getting out of the shower to find that you're out of towels...

Making a grocery list and leaving it on the kitchen table...

Wearing a new outfit that someone else is also wearing...

Leaving a sad-eyed puppy behind in a pet store...

Writing something you don't know how to end...
