Six Minutes
Skull's notes about this work:

I had a brief dream I was a contemplating father-to-be.

In six minutes I become a father
In six minutes ends the longest countdown of my life
The months, the days, down to the smallest of seconds
In six minutes I put a face to the name
Carefully chosen from countless others
The first definition of a unique individual
I pace

Scraped knees
Birthday parties
Dressing up as Santa
Journeys taken...
Car seat! Oh no, I've forgotten a car set!

Oh, I'm sorry, Dad, for causing this much trouble...

I think of the achievements
Lives saved
Secrets unraveled
crowds awed
Goals scored, even!

In three minutes...
I pace

This is how I expect to think when I have a child coming. The anxious waiting to meet someone I'd made, it would be so overwhelming and exciting.
