Jeremy put down his pencil and took a breath.
Tick – – Tick – – Tick
Irritation boiled and bubbled inside him.
Tick – – Tick – – Tick

Tick – Tick – Tick
He tried, once more, to answer question two. The one about the shortest route between A and B when B was actually F.
Tick! – Tick! – Tick!
His right eye twitched.
Tick! Tick! Tick!
“Where are the ‘Tocks!?’” he screamed, as his pencil splintered into two.
