'''WNP:  YOU HAVE TEN SECONDS...

Anxiously Bandy waited, tapping her foot on the tile floor.  She looked around the sterile bathroom.  It seemed time had stood still since she entered  through the door.  She had hastily purchased the test...her anxiety continued to mount.  Beads of sweat popped like little raid drops on her forehead. 
Sitting atop the toilet seat she crossed her legs, leaned forward and held her chin in her hands.  The watch on her wrist continued to tick.
"This is making me crazy...I have to know soon," she thought anxiously.  She picked up the box again to be sure she had followed the directions correctly.  She wasn't one to follow directions, she just kind of hapharzardly went about her life.  This time was different, she had to be sure, she had to know. 
Looking at her watch again, she breathed deeply, "not yet, not yet", the seconds seemed to say to her.
In attempt to kill time, she began to pull open drawers in the vanity, since this wasn't her house, she found the items inside intriguing.  She pulled back the shower curtain to look at the tub, "nothing special," she commented aloud.  She took off her right shoe and rubbed her feet in the fluffly rug.  For a moment she forgot what she was doing.  Another glance at her watch...soon she would know,she had only ten seconds to go.
