How to participate

Your voice matters.

When ready, begin typing to start the timer. If you complete your entry before the time elapses, the timer will not allow you to submit until it has reached zero.  At the end of your time, you may include your name if you choose and then click to share button.

 The time clock provides the count down for your writing. You cannot stop the clock; it unfolds in real-time; its purpose is to offer an insight into the fragility of breath, of life itself. Nine minutes and twenty-nine seconds may not seem like a lot of time, but from a different perspective, it was, it is…a lifetime.
