Stars Don't Shine

The clock clicked three-fifteen-one second passed then another. The clock ticked fifty-eight more times before clicking to three sixteen. In that time any number of things could have happened. The birth of a child the death of a poor girl. As time clicks on lives begin overlapping each other each beginning in the same way but ending in very different ways. Some jump to their last day as if it were the last page of an exciting novel others spiral into the infinity of death almost as an afterthought while some cut to the end like they could not breathe could not continue. This book tells of what happens in those minutes that pass through the lives of many.
