It was like the first day after daylight saving time ends, when the sun suddenly sets an hour before you expected it to get so dark.
One moment you’re sitting at your desk, working on that stupid report that’s been driving you crazy for a week, and the next you’re wondering when everything around you became so much harder to see.
The glow from the monitor is causing your eyes to strain. Time to get up.
You make it to the light switch, but the overheads are harsh.
Now everything is really clear. In the eight seconds it took you to fix what was bothering you, something happened.
Nothing is as you left it.
All your work is lost.
Time to start over.
