In the infinities of existance, a god became whatever was and whatever was to be. With his omnipotent power he divided the eternal continuum in half by His creation of the vast universe and in doing so created modern time. This has essentially taken Him eternity to accomplish.

Creation came into being nearly six thousand years ago when God breathed life into the first of our kind; adam. It has taken six thousand years for man to nearly completely corrupt the earth in all its ways.

230 years ago the United States of America declared it independence from the current world power, England. Two hundred thirty years later this nation too became a world power and just as quickly abused it trying to convert other nations to its ways.

In thirty two years we have transcended from one president who lied to a nation in order to cover himself, all the way to a president too incompetent to fullfill his duties, completely ignoring an important situation here and focusing his attention on another nation he shouldn't even be involved with.

Ten years ago until now the population of Africa has had a life turnover rate of nearly 40%.

A single year ago my own life change with the introduction of a friend. It has taken one year to turn my life almost completely around.

One month ago I realized what loss really meant. It took one month to understand this.

It only takes one day to learn what it's like to be in someone elses shoes.

It takes one minute coming to the conclusion that dinner will not be very eatable.

While sitting at my computer screen at a house different from the one I presently occupy, I read through the beginning of a letter. This took anywhere from a great many seconds to a minute or two. This played little on my life and would have most likely been forgotten if it were not for the text I was coming to. Five seconds, something seems odd about this letter; four seconds, subconciously I see something coming up; three seconds, she says it, but it doesn't register; two seconds, I sit back and read it again; one second, it hits!

From the time it took the third hand on a clock to rotate one sixtieth of its circle, fate unraveled a path I was not at all expecting. Fortune presented Love, like a fruit on a paved road, and I took it knowing no other that a single seconds conditions. Oddly enough more than a year late fate asked its payment for life of happiness and gave me a condition, a choice. On that condition I must yet again take one more second of my life. This second was of more value than the entire hour of seconds preceding it...no, the weeks worth of seconds preceding it. A week before it happened and after a letter, two phone calls, and too much Guinness, I for the last time said goodbye to someone I knew and dropped the phone by my side...this was the second. In the same amount of time it took to give me fortune, misfortune came as though it were all the same. One second...what is the next to hold for us?
