time:

i think someone accidently knocked out father time over the weekend at a bar/show. It was weird because I saw this group of women who kept whispering to each other and then looking around the room.

I was there to see this band called Geographic Curtain and the opening act was terrible so I had a drink and I thought one of the women was looking at me, but she, like her friends were looking at everyone. The only one that really caught their interest was this old bearded man in a sky blue robe that was minding his own business. I thought he was a clown at first, but then when I saw the hour glass next to his beer, I went, "hmmm." But it was none of my business what time did on his days off.

Anyway, just as Geographic Curtain was setting up this group of women all get up in unison and move over to where the old dude was sitting. He was watching nascar btw. but that might have only been because that is what was on the screen. Anyway so these women surround him and start asking him these strange questions. I couldn't really hear what was spoken but I did get the sense that he was caught by surprise and somewhat irritated.

I lost interest in the situation and surveyed the rest of the crowd while moving closer to the stage. Then I heard this screeching yell from the bar. I turned and there was the old guy in the robe making a hasty exit. Then some random fuckin' kid with hair died like a jaguars' stood up from his small table and kicked the guy in the back of the knee.

He tumbled and smashed the side of his head on the toe of the kid's boot that had come up to test his temple. This was ridiculous and I, along with four or so others moved towards the scuffle to break it up but by then the man had managed to get outside. We checked after him to see if he was alright, but there wasn't any sign of him.

Back in the bar i noticed he'd left his hour glass. Nobody else had noticed it so I quickly walked over and picked it up. I motioned for the bar tender and handed it over. I said, That old guy left this. I think it is important and he will probably be back for it. Keep it for 'em will you? The bartender nodded and said yea they always come back.

It was a strange thing to say because I couldn't imagine how many people walked around with hour glasses. By then the band was well into the first song and I shrugged and turned away.
