“Do you ever feel like you are running out of time?” That was one of the first questions she asked. She also accentuated the word feel in the sentence, as if it had more than a couple of vowels in it, which made the corners of her mouth stretch back towards her ears and her eyes squint a little.

So, I said yes.
Christian Martius (2015)
