Seasons Of Sugarcreek 03. Autumn's Promise - Plot & Excerpts
Nineteen minutes. Yes, it had taken nineteen minutes to shower, get dressed, make his bed, and brew two cups of coffee. Nineteen minutes, and he hadn’t even been hurrying. That was worrisome. Usually, he didn’t eat breakfast—there wasn’t much of a point to sit at the table by himself. But that morning, he’d decided to eat after all. After whisking an egg with a bit of water, then adding some chopped-up ham from his leftover dinner, he cooked his eggs. A thick slice of bread, toasted in his oven’s broiler, went on the plate, too. All of that took ten minutes. It took another five eating it, and four minutes to wash his plate and set it neatly on the wooden rack next to the sink. All told, from the moment he’d opened his eyes to the time he walked out the door, he’d been up for thirty-nine minutes. That was all.
