"Oh, I remember the rest... It's fine if you don't." she said, smiling at Jeremy. "Let's see, I was downtown, visiting my sister Amber, I'd finished visiting her, and was taking the bus back home. I remember the bus driver because he was kind enough to wait for me."

She was running, the bus was about twenty feet away. Suddenly, she gasped and clutched her side, with a grimace on her face. She continued walking towards the bus, but she had to cross the road, and the lights were red. She sighed, and hung her head, but then smiled as the driver sat there and didn't move. He was waiting for her! When the lights turned green again, and the walk icon for pedestrians came on, she ran across smiling at the driver. "Thank you!" she said.

"You're welcome," he replied, giving a toothy smile.

"I'll have the fare just now, ok?" she said, "I have to find the damn tokens in my purse..."

"Do you remember what the driver looked like?" asked Jeremy.

By Matthew Reid » Infinity was invented to account for the possibility that in a never-ending universe, anything can happen. Stars are created not over millions of years but in an instant. Time is only relevant to those keeping track of it.

I have watched since the beginning as countless forms of life have emerged and grown. I have witnessed the birth of planets so desolate that it was almost impossible for anything to ever exist there, and yet life found a way. Life is the most improbable form of existence that there is. Improbable, impractical but always completely possible. Life a combination of biological material and free energy. Random chance and laws of physics tells us that anything is possible and even right now as you sit there and read my words you are proof of your own existence. Proof that there can also be existence elsewhere. Life perhaps behind the eyes, as I said time is only relevant to those keeping track of it.
