OneWord - Pause
OneWord asks writers to post a word based on 60 seconds of writing. You don't get to see the word until the time starts. So far, I've been lucky and haven't froze. Then, it's a stream of consciousness thing that's quite exhilarating.
Saturday's word? Pause.
He paused, but it definitely did not refresh.
Sweat dripped off his brow, but his lips and mouth remained dry, stale.
You could run all your life and never quite get ahead. Stay in advance of all the worry, the bullshit.
Still, he tried.
And paused every once again.
Just to hear the grumblings of despair that forever chased.
