The Weeks

Ninety rows, one for each year. Fifty-two squares in each, one for each week. Put in your age and the spent weeks fill with ink. Nobody is promised the empty ones — that is not morbid, it is arithmetic.

1,820

Weeks already spent

2,860

Weeks drawn ahead of you

20,020

Mornings, if you get them all

spent this week not yours yet

55 more springs, at most.

Roughly 30 of them, if your parents are living, are springs you could still spend with them. That figure is an average, not a promise.

Twelve of those squares is the Road.

Twelve weeks out of the 2,860 you have left. Twelve squares to stop being scattered.
