Two Buddies over Beer

"You look lost in thought, Ben. What're you thinkin'?"

~

"I'm thinking about Shrinking Windows, Vic."

~ 

" ... Shrinking windows?"

-

"Windows of time. Time remaining, to be precise. 

I remember my twenties. My window seemed boundless, 

if I even thought of it at all."

~ 
"Yeah, as I recall, mine lasted like that well into my thirties."

~

"I was pushing 40 before thoughts of my end 

 began to tweak my conscious thoughts."

~

Vic nods. "Now, almost another 30 years have passed, 

and we've marine portholes for windows."

~

" ... And, fingers crossed, our ships are still under sail."
