An hourglass.
She was an hourglass. Years had collapsed and buried her from the inside out. Her legs felt full of sand and stapled together, her mind brimming with grains of indecision, undone choices, and impatient as time passed from her body.

"Who am i?" said the man. "I'm a friend."
She glanced at him and tried to sit up, but suddenly the world vanished in and out of her focus, shades of grey glistening like frames on stilts, erratic movements.
"Don't rush. You're a bit late, but we have some time left." He talked like he knew her, like they were close once. It felt insane.
