Tick Tock, Tick Tock

I’ve got this disease. It won’t go away no matter how much I pray. There’s no medicine to help me through it. I keep asking for a miracle to come forth and blast this drastic illness but nothing comes. I can’t fight this thing and it gets scarier and scarier each day that passes.

I’m sure you’re wondering what I’m talking about. You’re dying to know what ails me. I’ll tell you; it’s simple. You’ll realize that you have it too. Just like me, you are tainted with this incurable beast that will never budge.

I suffer from aging. Yes, that's it. It’s a persistent disorder which attacks the mind and body, worsening year by year. An inevitable occurrence no matter the creams or surgeries you use to fight it, the body responds to this disease in a most unremarkable way. One is prone to loss of sight, mental relapses, mind/body deterioration, and shriveling of the skin among other things.

It's a curse that comes with existence. Currently there is no way to control it and there is no immunity from it. It is omnipresent and shall never be stopped. It takes no breaks, never halts.

As a matter of fact, you are being attacked by it --

right. this. very. second.
