I closed my eyes and repeated to myself I can do this. I will do this. I seriously hoped that I wasn't lying to myself with those words.
I had made a dedication. I was going to post on steemit today, I am not missing another day so soon. I knew I would be busy today, knew my only chance would be that short, short hour I had for eating dinner. If I timed this right, I could pull it off; I could both eat dinner and type up a decent post. I even had a backup plan in case I needed a shorter post.
My dinner break started. I rushed, I raced, I ran, I all but knocked a few people unconscious. But... "Hyperbole!"
I turned in horror at the sound of my name. Please, please, please be something quick. Or better yet, be calling someone else and just saying my name by accident.
But alas, it was not to be. "I heard you talking with so and so earlier. You were talking about the ___ __ ____, weren't you?" Oh no. This is not going to be quick. I reluctantly nodded. "Yeah?" I felt my heart pound in fear. Please just say it sounded interesting and move on. Or just ask to talk about it later.
I knew I couldn't just push him off. I was clearly just going to eat dinner, and the subject was important. Just not right now!
And so, my heart racing from fear and worry, my mind overshadowed with anxiety, I spoke with him.
The conversation seemed to last forever. Fortunately, it wasn't. Fortunately, I managed to gulp down a lightning fast meal. I raced out the door, ears plugged so I wouldn't hear my name again.
I had just enough time to try my best. Just enough time to attempt world domination (yeah, you're not getting out of it so quickly. The fact my mind is occupied doesn't mean I'll be any less random than usual. well... maybe a little less random)
And so it was. I pushed and I shoved, I struggled and (mostly) succeeded, I hid a knife to get rid of the annoying interloper later tonight. I just didn't have enough time to add any pictures. Or maybe I just listened to 
-Hyperbole out
