Stealing Time (Download)

Deep inside him he could feel it stirring. In those moments the feelings because inescapable. He was lost in them. Slowly he would move his old and aged body, quietly hoping not to draw attention to himself as he moved through the hallway to her room. He would try to stop himself but it was like a sirens song that always drew him back again and he knew that there was little left that he could do even if he wanted to. He longed too much for her touch, for her feel. He just couldn’t stay away any longer.

Stealing Time is a story of loneliness, and age, of the pain and sorrow of time passing you by and the moments of redemption that you find in the instances of joy that come. The story of one old man’s journey and longing it weaves the tale of a person searching for his lost place in the world, seeking to once more, amidst his desperation, to gain it.
