You've got no time at all, but it seems like you've got forever. You've got nothing to do, but it seems like you've got everything ......... You make coffee and smoke a few cigarettes ; and the hands of the clock have gone crazy on you. They haven't moved hardly, they've hardly budged out of the place you last saw them, but they've measured off a half ? two-thirds ? of your life. You've got forever, but that's no time at all.

Jim Thompson
