Ocean

It is so lovely outside, I want to go and enjoy it. I've made my mind up, however, to at least attempt to complete the task I have for today.

I just have a lot of work to do. So much to do, in fact, that I picture myself at the bottom of an ocean, with the dark water looming all around.

Knowing that I only have a certain amount of time until I will need oxygen again, I look to the surface.

I know that getting to the surface will take longer than that which I have left.

So, it seems fruitless to attempt it.

This is bearing down on my usually light-hearted soul! Mind you, it's not a life or death situation at all. Not even a detrimental one. Not in the slightest.

Fruitless, I shan't let it be! Off I go....
