The Infinite Second

In the blink of an eye, the world around us turns into chaos and cold

mist. The heavy rain masks the sound of tires losing their grip on

the slick asphalt. Time slows down as the heart beats one last heavy thrum against

the chest. Every shard of glass becomes a diamond, catching the glare

of the midnight streetlights. And in that final reach, the only thing

that matters is the life beside you.
