And this week's theme is Time (hour, minutes, seconds, duration, etc).  Here's mine from Some Danger Involved by Will Thomas (pp. 142-3):


I awoke several hours later. The room was dark, save for a shaft of moonlight coming in from the back window. The beam illuminated my employer, who sat in my desk chair by the window, fiddling with some coins in his hands. He was deep in thought, as far as I could tell. What had brought him here? Ah, yes. The shooting. I'd almost forgotten. Was he standing guard? If so, he was a little late.

"What o'clock is it?" I asked
"Almost ten," he responded. "How do you feel?"

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
