The story takes place within a short period of time in the life of an old man who has been living in prolonged isolation during the end of his life. The old man in my story has lost a life partner and lives in a bubble of ever slowing routines and activities, disconnected from society, but still its prisoner. I wanted portray his daily activities within the context that linear “clock time” is an invented idea, and that time, that force that brings us ever closer to death, is a complicated concept — more a wave than a ticking clock.
