Sneak Peak of "In The Now"

Excerpt of my new short story, In The Now (still in editing process!):

"Time is not only two hands ticking without reason in a circle ending a day and the next second beginning a new one. It is the biological clock that we depend on, that determines our destiny and what happens when it runs out. We don't notice a crease of a forming line in the seconds that we stare at our reflection in the mirror. But in a decade we look back to a picture of our youth and realize that our skin has aged, our hair has grayed and we don't laugh as freely as we once had."
