Numbers

You're running, scrambling for your life.
You open your eyes, tears and sweat streaming down your fae.
The clock struck 7:00 AM
You roll out of bed, stumbling to the bathroom mirror.
You stare for awhile, remembering your nightmare, unsure of reality.
You snatch your bag and storm out of the house.
You're taken back by the sight you see.
Numbers.
Numbers danced above every head.
Yet, everybody seemed so calm, moving on with their life.
Mesmerized by the numbers, you miss your buff.
"What are these numbers?" you ponder.
You start to shake as your eyes widen.
TIMER.

You collect yourself and keep walking.
You see red, blinking numbers.
The timer strikes zero and the body hits the ground.
Somebody has taken their last breath.
You've seen enough.
You scurried home and stood in front of your mirror.
You see the numbers 16hr:18min taunting you.
You scream, "NOOO!!!!!!!"
..................................................................

You wake up.
Rushed to the mirror.
No more numbers.
You thought what you would do and say in 16 hr: 18 min.
What would you do in less than a day?
NUMBERS.
