3: Time
3 things that unnerve us about time.
- The longer you live, the faster time moves. A single day stretches endlessly for a newborn, because it is all they’ve ever known. But by day two, that same span is only half of their life. By year ten? A fraction. Imagine, then, an immortal being. Centuries could pass and it would feel like a blink to them. What would seconds mean to a creature who’s forgotten the weight of a single moment?
- Time isn’t visible, but you can see its effects by looking in a mirror.
- Time is natural but what if someone is able to manipulate it? Those who bend it, break it, travel it... they lose something. Perspective, perhaps. Sanity, more liekly. If you could rewind a mistake, would you still fear making it? If you could see every branching path before you, would you ever move forward? Some choices are meant to be permanent. And some things - no matter how far back you go - were always going to happen.
