time spent at the beach: wintry, sou'wester whipping the ocean, frenzied. ice-cream cake melting, wilting under harsh sunlight. never cold for long. dwarfed by an ocean, cliff-tops looming nearby - time to find somewhere else.

luxury + hope + up
unwrap stack of books: hope this one will speak to you. time to start reading. time is luxury - stolen moments hidden and jealously guarded. look up obscure reference: screenshot it and come back later (when?).
the timer, 1.2
the clock is running. she's speaking, tentative. she's only got eleven minutes to present the story. it's not enough time. confident now: three minutes left.
the timer, 1.1 (150)
say something profound, she's watching me. the words aren't said but they hang in the air anyway, waiting for the camera to be flipped on. waiting for me to perform, so i can be recorded for posterity. she's looking at her smartphone, tapping into it with the speed of someone who's had a few too… Continue reading the timer, 1.1 (150)
