PROLOGUE

TIME IS A LOT OF THE THINGS people say that God is.

There’s the always preexisting, and having no end. There’s the notion of being all powerful—because nothing can stand against time, can it? Not mountains, not armies.

And time is, of course, all healing. Give anything enough (in italics) time, and everything is taken care of: all pain encompassed, all hardship erased, all loss subsumed.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Remember, man, that thou art dust: and unto dust thou shalt return.

And if Time is anything akin to God, I suppose that Memory must be the Devil.
