A thought
by
Emma - Louise Braiden
its an odd thought really; how much our lives are controlled by seconds. your conception took seconds - and you existed. sure, you were a simple zygote, but you had life. You were beginning.
then, if you want to look at it from a different perspective, you've got death. mere seconds. as i drove along our street taking a letter to the post office, i was seconds away from death. if my little sibling had not been so indecisive about comming or not, i would have left earlier, the other car would not have been able to avoid me. i would have been crushed upon impact.
