Thirty seconds. It's really not a lot of time. You could take the trash out in a half a minute ... maybe heat up last night's leftovers in the microwave while tossing some kibbles in the cat's bowl. But those things are boring.

Shift is not boring. And Shift, if you aren't any good at it, only takes thirty seconds to play. And lets face it, you're just not going to be any good at it. I mean, maybe with time and dedication? Who knows, you could get the knack of energy transfers and making star matches to cause meltdowns to gain a few seconds back on the clock at the absolute last possible moment ... but lets be honest with each other; do you REALLY think you have the manual dexterity, the sheer force of will, the temerity to persevere and NOT FOLD UNDER THE PRESSURE!?

Of course you do. And so, The Frantic awaits you. And so does The Calm, just in case it turns out the pressure is too great.
