Time is a luxury we no longer possess

Space Tourism Chronicles The Slingshot Saga Time is a luxury we no longer possess Our battered Subi spacecraft, a relic in the night Flickering erratic, its core a dying light On Primary Trade Lane Delta-Nine, a river of light so grand But cycles bled away, draining across the land BK slumped, pale and strained, JB with eyes closed in despair Time a luxury we no longer possessed, consumed by cosmic air. Transcript from the Slingshot Saga - Time is a luxury we no longer possess Our goddamn battered Subi spacecraft, a damn relic lost in the endless black void!

A gridlock by design.

Two locals are engaged in dialogue.

In this enforced pause, I try to soothe my grinding frustration - the theft of my time and obstacle to plans. I need to learn how to appreciate containment.
