He let out a breath and sat up, suddenly restless.
“This is stupid,” he muttered, standing up abruptly.
He needed to distract himself.

Five minutes passed.
Maybe less.
He picked up the remote and turned it off.
Silence again.
He rubbed his face with both hands and exhaled slowly.
“Useless,” he muttered, more to himself than anything else.
