Uploaded

I had only a few minutes to upload the file. There was no time for discussion of the whats and whys I'd left it so late, that could, and would, come later. All that mattered was that the file was fully uploaded before midnight.

I watched the progress bar with more intensity than I'd watched anything in my life, as it moved, slowly, quickly, paused, backwards even? But finally, with a few seconds left, it finished.

I closed my eyes and breathed deeply, until midnight passed.

And I saw that it was still waiting for a description and wasn't finished.
