Time passed, turning everything to ice.Under the ice, the future stirred.If you fell into it, you died.It was a timeof waiting, of suspended action.I lived in the present, which wasthat part of the future you could see.The past floated above my head,like the sun and moon, visible but never reachable.It was a timegoverned by contradictions, as inI felt nothing andI was afraid.
