The Last 39 Minutes of My Life
The Last 39 Minutes of My Life In the last 39 minutes…. 38 minutes…. 37 minutes…. I never was able to stop counting the minutes…. 36 minutes…. 35 minutes…. I start to wonder what would happen…. If I took my last breathe…. What it would taste like…. 29 minutes…. I should’ve taken that job…. I should have moved to New York…. I should have ignored my parents and...

Lifespan
The sunset and the yonder Or speaks I wish I ponder, under the looking glass is always half full. To the light the bends with spectrum, O’er the shadows that fall to the ground, And dwells the indigo blue skies, Into the deep horizons fold far over the lull....

Premium Member The Greatest Gift of All, a Finite Human Lifespan - Now With Footnotes
