Trapped

Context: This is probably going to need the most context out of anything I've written or will write for a while but anyways, here goes. As most people know, Junior year is when all high schoolers have to take a battery of tests. For some reason, it has been decided that all these tests should be shoved in next to each other and completed in a three day super fun standardized test taking marathon. I finished my math portion early on the second day and wrote this up in the test booklet itself. I then took some time to go back and memorize it after the test was all done. [Spoiler, skip this if you took the MME and just read my writing below] The very last sentence is a reference to one of the questions in the reading section in which the reading was quite literally. "...You must set the coffee maker to go off at 6:30..." and the question was "When should you set the coffee maker for?" It's the twist which I wish I didn't have to ruin, but those that hadn't taken the test would be baffled without this.[/spoiler] I hope you enjoy this short bit of writing very much.

Trapped I am in this dark cell. Staring out the few windows I am given. I am overwhelmed by the pure silence and the sound of my thoughts. People of all different origins surround me. This is only our second day together and tomorrow will be our last. I glare downwards at my single piece of property. How could they even ask me that! I think I need to set the coffee maker for 6:30.
