One Hundred Seconds
Why does one hundred seconds take so long to pass when you are waiting for work to finish, or waiting for a bus or train or a lover to call? Then when you are with the one you love, and the weekend comes one hundred seconds disappears as quickly as the sparks from a Roman Candle.
That is what I always find, but I do love the beautiful moments.

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"

Hippieland
Welcome to Hippieland! It's a beautiful day with the sun shining down on the island where Hippieland is located somewhere in the Caribbean. The town is coming alive following the amazing sunset. Music is starting to play across the island. The peace loving, drama free laid back, relaxed music loving, fun loving people of Hippieland begin to exit their beach houses and inland cottages. The town center complex opens it's doors while fellow hippies gather in the midst of the outside courtyard.

I love the inclusion of songs and I always look forward to playing the one you select over your writing to see what vibe it gives.
So trueβ¦ timeβs inconstancy π₯Ή.
Awww, love the ending.
Time always passes super fast when we're having a good time. Loved this!
This is so relatable.
Last line is so poignant.
Oh I love what you did with the prompt, Mike! Very relatable perspective on the subjective experience of passing time!
Great work. There is really no explanation to that phenomenon of living.
