...heard above the voices.Â
Above the noise.Â
Vibrating down the nape of your neck.Â
Tingling so deep, it resonates to your toes.Â
A mere heartbeat.Â
A sigh.Â
Or an invitation.Â
Or both.Â
A moment almost unrecognized.Â
A moment when the world moves so slowly you feel your bones shifting, your mind tumbling.Â
When that no matter what happens to you for the rest of your life, you will remember every last detail of this one minute forever.Â
The moment upon which the whole of the future course of your life might turn.Â
Without any warning at all, leaving you with no time to consider or engage in a reasoned debate with yourself.Â
A split second decision, with so much depending on it.
Taking your breath away, yet breathing purpose back into your life.
Forever hidden in a flash.Â
Maybe one day you'll remember this moment, and it'll mean something very different.Â
Maybe you'll cringe.Â
Or laugh, aching to return.Â
Or notice some detail hidden in the scene,Â
a future landmark making its first appearance.Â
So you try to sense it ahead of time, looking for clues,Â
as if you're walking through the memory while it's still happening,Â
feeling for all the world like a time traveler.Â
Or that it just sort of happened,Â
and everything will soon be completely different.Â
All started with a brief tickle in your ear.Â
All started with a whisper...
