Knight

A story about Mylow Knight's journey through grief and enlightenment.
Story excerpt:
in college, I worked at the university recreational pool as a lifeguard. Every day I would sit on the tall isolating lifeguard stand, overlooking the pool as different people filtered in and out swimming at their leisure. I often would find myself staring at a large screen that displayed the time. It was twice the size of any normal flat screen television that you could find in a living room and hung on the wall directly across from my stand. I would find myself watching the seconds quickly counting upwards, turning into the long minutes I was counting until it was time for my shift to end. As my life changes and I grow older, I still think of that large clock. I think of its fast clicking seconds turning into minutes and then hours. Although it's different now, this time I don't know when my time ends. All I can see are seconds racing to a time where my life will end.
