PROMPT #72

Happy Birthday, Marilyn Bell! In 1954, at 16 years old, she was the first person to swim across Lake Ontario! It took her 20 hours and 59 minutes. Amazing!

PROMPT:

Imagine a character who, like Bell, does one thing for 20 hours and 59 minutes. Is this character doing this for work? Are they doing this for fun? Do they get bored, or are they focused the whole time?
