"Amusing little experiment"

Just for morbid fun, nothing else.
The scene is this:
You are in front of your computer emailing a mate. The 3 minute warning goes off and you have 3 minutes - 180 seconds - to write your message.
Time yourself, and dont cheat because otherwise it's pointless.
Strictly limit yourself to 3 minutes exactly, when that 3 minutes is up, stop writing even if it's mid sentence.
You were writing to your mate to express your fears at the escalating conflict around the world.

3 minutes exactly.
Go

Oh, I see what you mean by 3 minute warning, I think.

Didn't associate it with anything myself, probably because there probably wouldn't be one.

Except in Goatboy's election victory speach...

K, it was leaning more toward a direct flow of consciousness than how I'd normally write, because of the time limit, obviously.
To be honest had I actually been e-mailing a mate I'd probably have sat around for at least two minutes thinking things through more, then decided to leave it for another time. But I guess that wasn't the point.

Pasted from word:

Hi bud,
The escalating conflict around the world huh?

I guess from a personal point of view, none of us want to be dragged into a war, and even if the risks of conscription against Iraq are slim, I don’t really think it’s going to stop there – America, that is.

But wider than that, we’re talking thousands of deaths, and that’s a best case scenario if there is a war. I

There wouldn't be any three minute warning. I have heard that term banded about for the last few days and it annoys me. The first you would know about it would be when you died.

=====================================
... Oh well.

What a load of crap it was after all.

So long, cruel world.
=====================================


That's it.

Gotta go, gonna die soon. Wanna do something decent.
