Issue 4

Time is Warped

Theme statement

Try as we might to straighten the wires, like gnarled black holes, time will pull you in once more.

We come up with new ways to measure time, to control it, but it slips through our fingers like sand through the hourglass, rushing towards an inevitable end.

Throughout the ages, we have dreamed of futures that did not come to pass, and yet when we look at the stars, we see the light from long ago.

But travel at the speed of light, and time will bend around you; fall asleep, and the seconds distort beyond recognition; where does time go while you're gone?

Follow this ruthless pendulum, this endless automation, and discover what it means to escape the inescapable.
