What is a mere 1,200?

As a debt, it may seem excessive.

As a credit, maybe not enough

but something to be thankful for.

1,200 seconds

fills up 20 minutes.

What is 20 minutes?

For something tedious, it feels excessive.

For something fun, maybe not enough

but something to be grateful for.

What if

fate

hinged

on a mere 1,200 seconds?

What if

a horrible outcome

was missed

by a mere 1,200 seconds?

What if

being able to return home

depended

on a mere 1,200 seconds?

What if

the story’s ending

would have changed

in a mere 1,200 seconds?

Then you’d be

thankful

grateful

and

humbled

by a mere 1,200 seconds.
