CHEAT THE WIND
Time marches on to its cremation. All names, all deeds; votive offerings to oblivion's wind. Scattered ashes resemble meaning, then tend away to nothing. Only one escapes its fate. The golden hour ricochets through the ages. The hour that must never toll, between oblivion and all, releases a minute for you not a moment too soon. Alter time in the minds of men, the only way to cheat, to win. Cheat the wind.
