The Echo in The Glass

"The flow of time is always cruel... its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it... A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days..."

Sheik knew what he said and what he said was nothing more than the exact and the purest form of truth. And this undiluted taste of the brutal realism is what we don't know. Don'w want to know and even if by some accident or from a sinking experience of a bad night, even if we come to know of this secret of life, we choose to ignore it.
Always we do. And always we will.

As always, the idea of an ideal short story resides in implementing a message.
