    He stared at the screen for what seemed like an eternity before he reverted his attention to the blank paper laying on the table. Now what! Jilt wondered. Where should I start? He tapped his ballpoint pen on the table while counting from one to zero to cawww.onedoor.cclm the anger that was about to erupt again.He squeezed the pen, and threw it against the wall. "Damn!" he muttered under his breathe.He buried his head on the palms of his hands, feeling helpless and hopeless.
