The Chronos Counter
Arthur's mornings tasted like stale coffee and regret. Each tick of his wristwatch was a tiny hammer blow, reminding him of what he hadn't done, what he wouldn't do. Forty-eight years. Most of them spent hunched over spreadsheets, the pale glow of a monitor reflecting the dull ache behind his eyes. The city outside his window, a blurred charcoal painting, offered no solace. Just more proof of endless, relentless forward motion, dragging him along, ready to spit him out at the inevitable end. He’d tried mindfulness, meditation, even some self-help audiobooks promising to unlock his inner potential. All they did was make him feel like he was wasting precious, dwindling minutes.

is to keeping it off over time. Its not like you can just drop pounds overnight or something. And yeah, life as an adult makes it tougher than when we were kids, where everything felt easier.

So if you have made some progress, thats great. Now the focus shifts to holding onto that healthier you for years.

The Static Flock
Unit 734 trundled down Corridor 4B, its optical sensors sweeping the stained linoleum, logging microscopic dust motes, the faint, acrid tang of forgotten human meals, the precise coordinates of a dried-up coffee spill. Its internal chronometer registered 03:17. Another sweep cycle. Another hour before its power core required a full charge. The world was a constant stream of data, a meticulous ledger of grime and decay, all to be processed, analyzed, and expunged. Its primary directive: Maintain acceptable hygiene levels. Its existence was a hum, a low-level thrum of gears and cooling fans, a precise, unwavering rhythm.

Introduction I used to think New Year’s Eve was about the countdown. The fireworks. The champagne toast at midnight. But over the years, I’ve come to realize it’s not the clock that matters—it’s who you share the moment with.
