Intro In my world, everyone is born with a timer already implanted on their wrists. No one knows how or why we’re born with it: all we know is that it counts down to the moment you meet your soulmate. It took ages for people to reach this conclusion and still, it has been at the peak of human curiosity for as long as I could remember. The Timer has inspired a generous amount of literature (including many famous ones) and even more conspiracy theories than the universal question of life itself.…

If I want to be somebody & I want to go somewhere, you better wake up & pay attention. These are the words that come from a wise attentive woman. My mother the woman who gives me a hard time but will always be there by my side the same way when I was by hers as I watched her cry as I watched my father walk out the door without saying goodbye, because of the handcuffs on his wrist was too tight. I've been dealing with the Domestic abuse my whole life, it happened on the daily year after year I…

advantage, I ‘accidentally’ skew his balance. Reaching to help him, my hand slips into his pocket, pulling out his wallet, quickly weighing it in my hand, I slide it into my back pocket. Catching his wrist I clumsily pull him forward, unclasping his watch. A Rolex. Score. I scamper away, panting and apologising, trying hard not to laugh. I stalk back through the crowd, reaching the building on the corner before I hear a loud yell. Giggling, I skip around the corner, noticing the smirks of the…

Sports. Sex. Screen. My dad names these “three S’s” as the most common factors of distraction for mankind, and says that they tend to make people forget about the more significant things in life. Most specifically, today’s pop culture has made screen or television broadcasting so popular that most people cannot imagine living in a world where such things do not exist. As a matter of fact, media has not only become an accessible tool, but a habit and ritual in most peoples’ lives. In the midst of…

The “Ghost Clock” is a fascinating piece of artwork, done by the modern sculptor and furniture maker Wendell Castle. While the piece may appear to just be a grandfather clock covered with a sheet, it is actually one whole piece. The Ghost Clock is completely made of mahogany. To achieve the look of a sheet draped over a clock, Castle had to bleach the wood multiple times in order to strip it of all its natural color, seen on the bottom of the sculpture. This is part of what makes the piece…

Daylight Saving Time – March 12th 2017 Initiated by a satirical essay penned by Benjamin Franklin in 1784, the idea of changing sleep schedules came to mind due to the “rude awakening” that the summer sun caused Franklin at 6:00 am in Paris. However, it wasn’t until 1905 that the first ever campaign to move the clocks forward between April and October was promoted; The “Waste of Daylight” measure was led by Englishman William Willet. One morning on horseback, Willet had the epiphany that the…

enjoyed your novel because it shows how strong your emotions can be sometimes and because of the quotes for instance "There is a reason God limits our days," and "Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. Man alone measures time. And because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out." My favourite parts were when Dor grabbed the grain of…

I really hate violence, and a beautification of violence. When I was a student, or a soldier, there were a lot of violence in almost all groups I was in. The biggest reason why I love to study in the US is that it is not possible to watch a violent situation in the school. If someone uses violence to another student, he will be arrest and expelled from the school. It is a reasonable result to protect students and prevent a huge crime in the class. However, in Korea, it is not possible to expel…

website verses when no paper is due. On a different note, the internet only holds power over a person if the person lets the internet hold that power. The internet is and inanimate object and cannot hold a gun to a person’s head, forcing them to watch that cat video. It is all mental. The internet can consume a person if and only if the person lets it. There is nothing to fear when dealing with the internet. A thing a person should consider is how much power they are giving the internet and…
