In high school and college, on rare occasions, I'd write an unfinished sentence consisting of only one word. This minimalist approach elicited some interesting responses in April 1989:
Time...
...is the force behind everyone's actions. (Bill R.)
...is like the other three dimensions, except we cannot move through it freely. (Ed W.)
...can be wonderful, but generally, it just drags on. (Sue A.)
...is weird, when you really stop and think about it. It never stops. Every person's time ends somewhere and (at) some time. (Carmen R.)
...is really just a state of mind that, one you get over it, you can be in the past or future. Time is intangible but rules people's lives when it really does not have the power to. People let themselves be ruled by the clock. (Mike B.)
