number one

~
waiting for time to pass on,
about two minutes had gone by,
illusions spread through my mind,
feeling as if i were staring at the same spec of lint for the past two hours.
looking down at the paper,
i read,
problem one.
gazing down at the letters,
unable to comprehend. .
lost in my own insanity,
travelling through the timeless tunnels of my thoughts.
trying to locate the answer to number one.
the smell of smoke fills my nostrils,
utterly confused i manage to look up,
a cloud of smoke surrounds my brain.
brain freeze?
no,
malfunction.

suddenly,
my heart begins to slow down,
to a calming rate,
too calm,
as if i was a device,
shutting down.
code red!,
i scream.

standing above all sanity,
i check for any familiar face.
but no one was around,
finally, i think as hard as my brain would allow,
realizing that i was alone in darkness,
except for a desk,
chair,
and that paper,
with problem one by its side.
searching for a light,
 i fumble on the answer.
the answer to number what?
oh yes,
number one.
