The Body · Relic 27/30
Borrowed Time
A serpent-wrapped hourglass, the sand glowing red.
Time is the one currency you cannot earn back.
The snake guards a glass that only empties.
You are not spending it. You are returning it.
The serpent already knows this. It has been watching the sand since before you arrived. You borrowed the time. The serpent is the creditor. It never forgets.
