Against the clock- in the less usual sense.

My eyes glance towards the clock
My fingers are flying across the keys
I know there won't be enough time...
Why am I trying to pretend that there will be?

There hasn't been up to now
And now there's even less...
Five minutes,
I've never willed words to come more quickly

My breathing's becoming shallow
He didn't tell me it'd be like this
He just gave me the time limit

Shortest time limit in my life
Long enough to write this
Goodbye...

Tick, tock

The end.

If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn't brood. I'd type a little faster
