You are on your deathbed when you decide to open your box for the first time. | Meredith hated the sound of clocks. It was ironic that all her life, everything she had done was governed by the irresponsible movement forward of time. The relentless tick tock, of plans and deadlines, meetings and passings, everything in every moment being on time or late, precision, space and time.

You are on your deathbed when you decide to open your box for the first time. | Everyone I knew had used up their boxes within a decade of getting them. It's easy for someone down on their luck or just feeling bored with life to get a little curious, and when that curiosity hits you it's impossible to resist.

I was the first person in over 10 years to develop the type of cancer Melanoma, whatever the hell that meant. All I knew was that I had this brown spot on my forearm that hurts like hell.
