I saw the market full of people.
Last week we reviewed the project plan.
I wrote the email at midnight.
Today I talked to someone I did not know.
I walk home in the rain.
She failed her math test yesterday.
My boss asked about our project.
I chop onions for you tonight.
I watched the sky turn pink.
I remember a young woman before her first injection.
I dance in the kitchen tonight.
The door clicks shut, and I am alone.
I almost didn't ask the question today.
I saw her at the café.
Today the rain came down hard.
Last week I had to update my team on our project.
The first coffee of the morning wakes me up.
Work ended. I closed my laptop.
I remember the day I spoke English to a stranger.
I stared at the screen for hours.
Last night, I had tea with Ana.
Rain taps my window like a friend.
Today, a stranger held the elevator for me.
After the meeting, I felt unsure about emailing.
The day leaves with a low orange glow.
I left work late, and the sky was already dark.
I wrote a letter last night.
Tonight I called my mother after work.
The alarm rings at five.
Yesterday I made a mistake at work.
There is a question I never asked.
I saw my old friend today.
The street lamps turn on at seven.
Tonight I planted a small seed.
My bag is open on the bed.
Tonight the city feels big and unknown.
Last night, I thought about questions.
The market is loud today.
The lamp throws a warm glow on my hands.
At standup, my teammate said 'blocker' a lot.
I stared at the screen for hours.
My eyes open before the alarm.
I often hold my question back.
Last month I almost stopped writing that big email.
Tonight I heard a song on the radio.
Tonight I close my computer.
I walk out of the office at nine.
The alarm rings before the sun.
Rain tapped on the roof tonight.
Yesterday we reviewed the new plan.
