Time Moves More Slowly

GiaB writing prompt #2–2 time

And in the time it takes to walk on through, one single tiny simple little thought, I watch a cloud advance across the blue so slowly then more slowly than it ought.

I'm out here writing, nothing can go wrong. A wasp crawls slowly as it stings my wrist. Time moves so slowly, yet it takes too long. These painful seconds are all that exist.

The cloud floats by as burn and tingles climb and fill these words with pain, I do agree. I’d still do anything to save this time, as painful as this present just might be.

Some say, time heals all wounds, and then this sting and now it's time to take care of this thing.
