Laughter

A room. A dimly lit room. Chairs all in a circle. TV in the middle. Drivers training. The air vent speeds up as the people are filling the room with warmth. The instructor plays the video, half of us almost asleep. He pauses the video and booms his voice to shock our brains back to earth. "Who has the right away in this situation?" he gestures to the TV behind him. All eyes in a panic. Looking at each other. Looking at the TV hoping it will give the answer away. I look at the instructor, then the TV, then I scan the classroom, all is still, all is quiet. I feel it building, my nerves rising towards my lungs, SOMEONE SAY SOMETHING PLEASE GET ME OUT OF MY MISORY. I resort to bitting my tongue, but I feel it building getting ready to push past the pain and the teeth in the way. 1. 2. 3. I let out the loudest laugh humanly possible. The WHOLE room turns to me and starts laughing too. Ah silence my biggest foe, I will beat you next time.
