The Examination

55 Word Essay

Leaving the examination room, row by row,

Examinees passed by with their faces beaming with confidence.

Kneeling on the ground as my knees gave way to pressure,

Fear and despair gnawed at my heart

Like a blackhole swallowing everything in its way

Till my mind went blank

Like the answer book that I handed in.
