It is 2:56 am, and he
still has trouble sleeping. He turns the light on and picks up the book that
lies by his nightstand. He opens it to page 56.
He always believed
that accidents are somehow destiny in disguise.
The question of the
previous day still twirls in his head.
He stands up and walks
towards the fridge. He realizes that the distance from his bed to the fridge is
28 steps – that equals 56 steps from his bed to the fridge and back.
Coincidence?
He always worked too
much. Too much that he never had time to think of himself as a distinct entity.

Yesterday, the girl at
the gas station asked him if he is free on Friday.
Free on Friday?
Today is Wednesday,
which is two days away from Friday.
If he could be with
the girl in bed that would make it one + one = two.
He looks again at the
clock that sits on top of his nightstand.
The time is 2:56 am.
Still.
That is what he does
when he has time.
