Everyone knows that feeling. The feeling that just slowly comes over you. Takes over your brain, your body. Not being able to be a regular person.
Then there is that little voice inside your head telling you to give up. But the thing is you don’t want to. You want to keep going. You want to have a basic life with joy and love.
You ignore that voice, and since ignoring it you have gotten out of bed. You have showered. Cleaned your house. Started exercising.
Next thing you know, you have your dream job. Dream significant other. Everything has fallen into place.
As you peacefully fall asleep you just can’t stop thinking of what would have happened if you hadn’t ignored that voice.
You fall asleep and wake up the next day happier than the last.

Midnight
60 seconds… 59 seconds… Time was slipping through his fingers, though he clawed at the falling grains of sand, he could not stop the hourglass from flowing. Around him, the silence was deafening. He had taken over every screen in the command centre, putting the terrible seconds before the terrified eyes of his friends and comrades.

Descent
“60 seconds.” Aris tightened her grip on the overhead handhold. The troop transport shook like a leaf in a windstorm as it battled through the atmosphere. Dim lights flickered on and off as the ship’s systems were battered by pelting rain and narrowly dodged blasts from laser cannons on the surface of the planet.
