We need stories "where time may still be a vehicle for human fulfillment."

Lois Zamora, Writing the Apocalypse: Historical Vision in Contemporary U.S. and Latin American Fiction

Time is weird. Sometimes it feels like life has been on pause since the pandemic started... [I've been] feeling stuck this weird limbo state, even now, where my brain feels both completely alienated from the time before COVID but also stuck at where it was seven months ago...It's strange.

From a work standpoint somehow staying home longer has confounded the boundary between work time and leisure time...

The problem is the same place I do school work is the same place I eat meals and the same place I go to bed. It's all happening in my room.

Jacob Cohen '24, discussion memo

"And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer..."

Revelations 10:6 (KJV)

"A whole literary fiction of the festival grew up around the plague: suspended laws, lifted prohibitions, the frenzy of passing time, bodies mingling together without respect, individuals unmasked, abandoning their statutory identity and the figure under which they had been recognized, allowing a quite different truth to appear..."
