Doug managed four paragraphs. He re-read them twice. Decided to change things around for ten minutes. After, he thought he knew what he really wanted to say. Wrote it down. But now there was only one paragraph. He reread that. Decided it was garbage and closed the browser tab.
He then went on to close the laptop. Decided it would be best to go on a walk. Drank another coffee instead. Sat anxiously. His friend was supposed to call him today. They took turns calling each other. Yesterday Doug had called him. Today it would be the other way around.
There was no definitive time. The only stipulation was that the two had to keep their day open from one to three in the afternoon. The person could ring at any time during that slot.
It was almost one. Minutes remained. There was no reason to be anxious. Since his friend wouldn't call until at least one. So why be anxious now? What was the benefit?
He drank his
coffee
. Had no need for the
caffeine
. It was better than surfing feeds on the internet he thought.
