Autoplay

As the phone rang
His head was throbbing
Heart palpitating
Beads of perspiration rolled
Down his chiseled face
This call meant life or death
Then it finally came:
Phew! A river of relief......
His professor had found his final exam

for a whole day my brother was on edge, He got a call from his Prof in college saying he could not find my brother's final exam which counted for 75% of his grade. He was freaking out!
