A Time Story

By Julius F. Mangiumaker

They use to say “life is a trip” and I fully agree. I am constantly on the move; I never stop for a moment. On the other hand my travelling is not always interesting; in fact I am mostly going back and forth between the same two places, a sort of commuting following the same route which was established long time ago and assigned to me at the moment I was born.

Luckily enough, I have a big window in front of me, but unfortunately it is covered most of the time. Only from time to time the view becomes clear and I get to see outside. Through that circular window I usually see people that seem very curious about my travelling friends and me although sometimes I can catch the background behind them and it is really interesting.

It is not a complaint, but I must confess that my travelling vehicle is rather small and crowded; although it is nicely decorated and very clean. In this respect I have been lucky enough that all my travel companions are very quiet, polite and tidy beings, they move around rather slowly and they seem to be much attached to their place in the vehicle so that we never disturb each other; at most we gently touch while moving around. There are some exceptions though: my closest friend is moving really fast although not as fast and as much as me, but it is definitely more regular in his behavior. I cannot tell the same for the biggest fellow in our brigade, he can be rather quiet when our vehicle is waiting at its stations, but as soon as the travels begin, he gets totally hysterical and bounces back and forth apparently randomly. Anyway, I quickly learnt by experience that his bouncing must have a purpose because after a little while, my own movements become healthier, ample and harmonious as it is appropriate for a good balance wheel!
