Ticking

Once upon a time, a man had swallowed a time bomb. It ticked inside, loud and clear. He didn't plan on swallowing something so dangerous, he had already been in love before, and now this. The bomb was hidden inside a doughnut. What does a man do in front of a warm doughnut? No one even chews one anymore. 

His name was Adam; as cliched as it gets. His wasn't a soul that worried about what others thought about him. His was a soul of discovery. He discovered many things while sitting in one spot all the time. He never felt the need to really go and look for new things. He had realised that until you change from within, you are not really roaming around. He would sit and observe and wait for a revolution to happen within. Unfortunately he got what he wished for. 

"How long do you have?" his friend asked him. "How long do YOU have?" he asked his friend the same, feeling disgusted with the kind of question that was thrown at him. "Im just trying to help" his friend said in agony. How does one help in such cases anyway.

 "You are standing 30 feet away from me, how is this helping me?" he questioned.

 "Why the hell didnt you chew the fucking doughnut?" said his friend, sounding confused.

"I'm about to blow up here and THIS is not helping!

 "Well what about your wife? she'd need someone to take care of her right?"

 "Can't you say better things right now? what kind of a friend are you?"

 "you are right, I should be more loyal to you, and honest"

"What do you mean?"

"I slept with your wife"

"Really? I am about to die here!!"

"Which is why I thought you should know"

"How many times?"

"Umm... you'd rather die without knowing, how do you know its a time bomb anyway?"

"Well, its ticking inside me, SO I KNOW ITS A BOMB!"

Adam's wife came rushing to that one place where he always sat and where he had discovered his 'inner revolution' just now.

"Honey i think i dropped the dial of my watch while making doughnuts for you! I hope you figured!"

"It was your watch?" he exclaimed 

"Shit" his friend whispered to himself

"You swallowed it? How could you? Didn't you chew your doughnut?"

"Forget it"
