Twenty-seven minutes and seven seconds



"Time cannot be reversed but you can enjoy each tick if you decide now..."

Twenty-seven minutes and seven seconds, what events could possibly occur in a short span of time?

Twenty-seven minutes of non-stop laughter between friends making jokes and seven seconds of deafening silence because everyone runs out of a punch line. Twenty-seven minutes of luxurious gambling and seven seconds losing a million. Twenty-seven minutes of pure love making and seven seconds of rest. Twenty-seven minutes of point explaining and seconds of saying "its over", ruining a relationship. Twenty-seven minutes of emergency operation and seven seconds of farewell. Twenty-seven minutes of pain and seven seconds of joy. Twenty-seven minutes of doing 100 km/hr and seven seconds late at work. Twenty-seven minutes of phone conversation and seven seconds after, you are missing the person already. Twenty-seven minutes of long wait in a line and seven seconds processing your transaction. Twenty-seven minutes of solemn prayer and seven seconds of salvation.


Twenty-seven minutes and seven seconds, a make or break situation over a very short span of time. Point here is not the length of time but the way it was used. Time cannot be reversed but you can enjoy each tick if you decide now...
