Chapter 33: Kronos

Time.

Mother-f•©king Time!

F•©k me, I wasn’t even sure what time it was.

I looked it up in our library; searched every way I could think, but the problem was that I wasn’t completely sure of exactly where we were.

Sundials are useless if you don’t have a point of reference to start from. Sextants are cool but you have to have astronomic input to get reliable results. I was starting from scratch and we’d had overcast skies for two days and nights after whatever that event was; more importantly, I didn’t have a sextant.

I had to make a choice so I decided that when the rooster crowed it was 5am until I learned better. The next morning when the rooster crowed and crow he did, I rolled out of bed and set my watch to 5:00AM.

One problem handled.
