Creative Writing: Beep Bee On The Moon

Beep beep beep. The bedside clock read 6:30 pm. Four hours had passed since we started discussing quantum mechanics, and it was dinner time. I had gone to a friend’s house in the morning to play tennis with him and a few other friends, but even after our friends had left, we continued playing for another two hours, making it four hours total. As a result, we were completely exhausted, to the point of just collapsing on the shaded grassy area to the left of the court.
