Wow, you really did a great job with this. Unexpectedly deep, nice perspective. Great choice of object to use, and you really did a lot with it. I especially liked the repetition of the line about marking the passage of time, but not controlling it. Very well done!

So, Tree told me I should read this -- it just took me a little bit. Then tonight I saw the movie "The Number 23" and in there is a phrase: time is just numbers with meaning attached to them...

And I thought of your story. So I read, and I admired. And I came away slightly sad. This was well done -- the whole "I mark the passing of time but I don't control it..."

Control is the grand illusion. And Dean is a master magician.

Well done, lam. I applaud you.

"I mark the passing of time, but I don't control it" powerful statement. Beautifully done lam.

Thanks so much for the review! I can hardly believe that my first draft for this story didn't even include that line.....

Love it!  I especially like that you repeat "I mark the passing of time, but I don't control it."

Great concept to have the watch mark time in a different way!

Thanks so much for the review! It's good to hear that the repetition worked - didn't want it to seem annoying or redundant or too heavy "handed"....

Loved this lam, very poignant. It conjured up lots of great images and a final urgency which is very hard to ignore.

I mark the passing of time, but I don't control it. Too true. Well done!

Author's Response: Thanks so much for the review! I'm so glad that what I was trying to say seems to have made it to the page. Would that any of us could control time....
