He looked at his watch. 15 minutes had passed.
He got life for killing his daughter. The first day in prison seemed surreal. He looked at his watch. 15 minutes had passed. Great. 15 minutes down, an eternity left.

I'm not a teacher. I speak American English. I've tutored writing at the University of Southern Maine and have done a good deal of copy editing and writing, occasionally for publication.
