There are approximately a hundred and thirty-five squares on that side of the wall. I know what your thinking, boredom does strange things to the human mind. Do I have any options?
And the colour? It doesn’t do much for the imagination does it? On second thought; it reminds me of school lunches and detention hallways. Places designed to forewarn you of life in prison; lukewarm meals and dinge spaces.
His voice jars me from my reverie, it’s gone all pitchy.
He sounds desperately innocent.
“I understand Mr Finch …..” I say
Do I believe him? Sure, the walls pink ain’t it?

Mr Finch as in Atticus? Nice voice of thoughts running through his head.

Atticus Finch was the lawyer in To Kill A Mockingbird, thought there might have been some reference to that.

Dear Chioma,
Yep, counting the wall tiles has to be the epitome of boredom. 😉 I related. I was the worst when it came to daydreaming. Comet to think of it, I still am. Good one.
Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle

You can never have too many wall tiles. And too much time. Good one.

Mr. Finch might have to rethink hiring this lawyer. Well written, the dreariness came through perfectly.

Well actually the wall doesn’t look pink to me at all, but I expect to these two it won’t matter if it is— or if Finch really believes him or not. Are they supposed to be in prison?

I suppose counting the tiles is marginally better than watching grass grow.
