Funny that. We live in islands of Hours and we never seem to have time enough for anything.

It's funny, don't you think, how time seems to do a lot of things? It flies, it tells, and worst of all, it runs out.

...It's just one hour. Just one little hour. What could happen in one hour?

The truth is that the past exists no more than the future, even though it feels as though it does.
