Answer
60 seconds to midnight?
60 seconds to midnight, the clock counts down, seconds move by.
The people race, for they know that the time is running out.
50 seconds to midnight, the clock continues to count down.
Little do we know what we have until they are gone.
40 seconds to midnight, the time drains away.
The rope of the familiar past disintegrates in the hands of the few who reach.
30 seconds to midnight, the time flows like Chrystal blue river.
Tears flow like gentle raindrops as many look back on an irreclaimable lifetime.
20 seconds to midnight, a wise old man smiles in contentment.
The hopes and aspirations of the people begin to rust away like old iron.
10 seconds to midnight, the wind blows by like one last breath.
The air becomes cool and content, and so passes the last moments of the people.
Midnight arrives, as if under a new fallen blanket of snow, the people rest peacefully; what they have done and how they have lived has been perpetually encased in a smooth and Chrystal clear glass. The sands of time wash over, as if it were a calm blue ocean. Like the people had lived, what remains of their existence is a relic of an unchangeable, but warm and familiar past. The wind is now calm as if after one last calm breath.

1 Answer2 weeks agoShould the transgendered be kept at a safe distance from women at all times?
Many transwomen have raped or otherwise sexually abused women. They remain biological males regardless of whether they have a "sex change" or not and have no place in women's spaces. Keep them out of women's bathrooms and changing rooms, do not let them compete in women's sports, do not put them in women's areas of prisons, etc.

3 Answers2 weeks agoWhat Book is this?
I am trying to remember the title and author of this book and I don't remember enough for google to help me so I'm hoping someone here will know.
- The book is of the mystery/murder/thriller genre
- The main suspect is, I believe, a red haired girl named Natasha. I think she might be a twin and at one point the lead cop on the case discovers that her name spelled backward is Ah Satan. (But it's not a book about satanic worship, it's just a regular murder mystery)
- I believe the lead cop's wife has or had breast cancer (they also may have children still at home but can't remember their exact ages)
- one of the murders takes place in the woods or at least that is where the body is found.
- the book is at least 10 years old, maybe older, but recent enough that the characters had cell phones.
It was a very good book but just one I picked up in a hospital gift shop and I don't know if the author was very popular.
