Athan,


The rain? I saw it coming that I already warned a couple of friends about it few days ago, while the overcast was slowly thickening outside. It did not surprise me a bit even if it arrived at the most unholy hour of this lifetime--our lifetime, leaving us both cold but not really totally out of comfort.

And last night? It drenched us both. It was nasty; worse than the cutting coldness seeping through the cream and green plastic mats spread on the red concrete floor of my office. It was past 2 in the morning and the coldness burnt the flesh it earlier numbed.

Few days ago, I was multiplying 8760 hours by two to a friend; now I am substracting as many hours as I can while at the back of my mind, a slideshow just won't stop.

Rewind. Play. Pause. Forward. Fast forward. Rewind. Play. Rewind. Rewind. Rewind. Forward. Play. Rewind. It just won't stop; just like the rain.














Unlike you.
