WAITING TIME
(An Observation)
Oh sweetie, you have no idea how slow time becomes when death is there, when you think you know that your lifespan is going to be measured in seconds, or minutes. Things that would take a mortal days to consider, you consider without even wanting to. Things it would take a philosopher a lifetime to describe, you describe in your heart a million times.
Time doesn't just go slow. It almost stops.
