The Examination
“The Exam will begin in 10 moments time.”
“Exam? What Exam? I ‘m not here to be tested! And not in 10 minutes—”
“That’s 10 Moments time.”
”...10 moments? What the deuce is a moment?”
“Approximately a minute and a half, miss. Now, if you would have a seat—”
“Wait, hold that thought. Go back to that moment thing. So I really have,” she tried to do the calculation in her head, but soon gave up. The clock was ticking, after all. “So, I only have 10 minutes—er, moments.”
“Actually, miss, you only have 8 Moments now.”
“8 moments! 8 moments! But, but I’m not suppose to even be here! I have to save someone, you know! I’m not even prepared for an exam!—Say, what’s this exam examing anyway?”
“It is an Examination of your Humanity.”
”...Oh bugger.”
