Time moves in both directions - forward and backwards - what happens here and now, changes them both.
~Nicola Yoon, {Everything, Everything}
"Time" as a definition, became an agreed upon construct - taken by the distance of one rotation of the Earth and one orbit of the Sun - divided up into segments and then gave those segments labels.
Humanity loves labels. Others however, do not - but that listeners, is a time to tell for later.
When silently, humanity nearly ended, time almost stopping. Humans made Wards. Created vaccines. Became The United and Separated. There was trouble, certainly. A change. A seething, voiceless civil war, yet no casualties, no last breath.
Ah, although what you could call ''humanities belief system'' did indeed perish but Death, is the only end if you believe the story is about you.
Do you think time should have only been recorded by the wrinkles that slowly settle in the smoothness of your parents faces, the rings in once green bark trees and the changing of seasons?
We would have had more peaceful lifetimes. It should have been like that but it isn't.
At a large cosmic scale, one in which both space and time are infinite, does the minute you spent reading this or the one hundred or so years you have on this Earth matter?
No, of course not but as so long as you remain conscious of your being, so long as you are aware of the rising and the setting of the sun, time will exist. You will exist.
You exist.
Or do you?
Please, please give feedback! Vote! Comment! What do you think of the intro? Also this POV is a story teller not you reading a book. Lol (Just this part for now) It's some backstory, you'll meet a few characters in the next chapter!
