Getting Your Attention
Looking over at him, I widen my glare. My stare was going unnoticed. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. While the speaker droned on and on, he needed to see what was happening. The night lighting came on in the room and gloom took over. How could no one notice the change? We had caught each other eye as we sat down originally, both there for the same reason. The room was still and stifling. I cleared my throat hoping to get his attention. The sound couldn’t have been louder than me dropping the complete Merium Webster dictionary from the second story of the library of congress. Everyone looked and my face grew hot. Even the speaker stopped momentarily.But it did have the desired effect, he finally looked over. Frantically, I shifted my eyes back and forth to the changes happening outside. He looked towards the windows with his mouth hanging open. He stood up and said “oh my god!”. Finally, everyone was aware of the urgent situation.
