At This Moment In Time


Right now some high school student is procrastinating on all of his homework hoping that there will be a snow day tomorrow. He has not lifted one finger since the start of the weekend and hopes to carry his laziness into Monday of the next week. The boy's mom walks up the stairs to find his room a mess. Old pizza boxes under his bed, orange Dorito residue on his sheets. The mother shrieks in disgust and proceeds to force the boy up out of bed. “Have you even started your homework?” asks the mother. The boy confirms that he has in overwhelming confidence. Little does he know that this is a deadly move as there will be school the next day. The snow storm that the boy hopes for will not be blown the extra 10 miles into his city. Not a single flake falls. The boy is forced to go to school completely ill prepared.
