#MicroFiction #TootFic
Time is inconstant. The Earth turns, the clocks need to be adjusted, a second is removed or gained. But that time is not lost.
Beings live in these seconds, creating mischief for which there is no explanation. The missing sock, the biscuit crumbs on the bench, the bookmark that disappeared.
But now scientists want to eliminate these seconds and save them up for our future descendants.
Who knows what havoc will be wrought in an hour?
