The cars were streaming by. I could hear the quiet flapping of birds moving swiftly in the wind.
Time stops for no one. But here, where I am, time whines down to almost a crawl. It's only because we're losing track of everything we hold dear. And sooner than we think you and I will lose everything.
Even this.
Rain drops splash off the trees right down to where I'm standing. Eyes blink slowly, they stream down my face mixing fresh with salt. The suit hangs over on my shoulders but it's hardly even a concern. It's surreal. It's like a dream I've been having on all those sleepless nights. They turn to look at me. They know this is nothing for them, but the world for me. Layla stares at me, runs to me and hugs me tight. She trembles on me heavily, but all I can do is bring her closer and rest my eyes on the incoming gloom, darker as it draws closer, the little being clinging to me the only light shining through.
But for how long?
Time slows down the same time it speeds up. Everythings a blur, so much as it is, as clear as the brightest day. An understanding then in comes a wave of utter confusion.
What is it you want of me? Why now....
