"Maybe it's not a clock."

"What?"

"The ticking. Maybe it's not a clock."

"What is it then?"

"A countdown."

"To what?"

"I don't know."

"A countdown is still a way to keep time."

"But it's not a clock."

"No."

"It's and end. A clock feels infinite, a countdown has an ending."

"It does."

"What happens when we get to the end of the countdown?"

"I don't know, it's your countdown."

"It's not mine, don't blame this on me."

"I"m not, I'm just pointing out."

"Well, don't. I won't take the blame if something goes wrong."

The phone rings.

"Don't answer."
