By the time the crash and clamor of old grandfather echoed off into memory, it might have been 1203.
I didn't check my watch to be sure I had a thing to confirm.
I cannot miss this, I thought, not even for a second.
Even though eight minutes is a torturously long time to hold place in this position, and even though I knew the drip was accurate to the microsecond and could not possibly come early...
I did not move, but there was no hint of a coming plink, no slow swelling of an incoming drip, growing pregnant with its own weight, no presage of my hourly visitor whatsoever.
I waited for it, counting seconds, whispering them aloud.
Seeing the digital readout in my mind counting up, first to 100, then to 200, I eventually gave in to temptation at 300 and checked my watch.
It was 1210.
But as I've said, my watch is analog, so I had no idea how close I was to the moment when...
I missed it.
And I didn't just fail to anticipate it to the microsecond.
No, I missed it entirely.
The drip, you see, this time, had come from upstairs.
Son of a bitch!
I slammed my hand down on the steel rim of the sink.
Eyes turned to the ceiling.
I felt my left eye twitch in its socket, along with the inescapable panic that takes a bite out of your soul when your heart holds completely still for 1.3 seconds.
I was and remain completely unconcerned about anyone ever hearing any of my outbursts, which do escape me from time to time.
It's not like I have people in this house on a regular basis.
Anyway, fuck this shit.
