Count Me Down

The explosion tore through the base with a fairly regular pattern. One section would blow up, the heat, debris, and pressure would all flow into the next section. That section would buckle, then break, then explode, repeat.


With a deviation of ten seconds either side, it was taking a minute forty for each section.


So, counting the sections, I was sixteen minutes and forty seconds away from death.


I had no hope of escape, nor of rescue, so I didn't bother. Instead, I put on my favorite album and waited.


I didn't realise the obvious issue till Side B ended.
