Time for Sale. Time. It's a fascinating thing, isn't it? How it can slow down, or speed up, depending on your mood, activity, and a number of other variables. Of course, this is all just in our minds, in our perceptions of how things appear... right? Well, it was, until today. (Or, well, the day this shop started). This is a time shop. We sell time. By the hour, in fact. You want an hour of time? Sure thing! You want a day of time? We got you! Just come over to one of our locations, found locally in, well, anywhere with internet access. Come on in, it's okay! We don't bite. We don't scratch. Well... we do scratch, but we don't scratch. You might be wondering how this process works. Don't worry! Everyone else is wondering the same thing. But the answer is complicated, so we're going to avoid the question in the least subtle way possible. Anyways, our time for sale can be used for a number of activities. Video games, doing homework, eating, sleeping, all at an extremely low price! Only 20 dollars an hour! ($480-day) You're wondering how you can buy the time once you've arrived at one of our locations, aren't you? Well, it's not hard. There might be a line, but once you reach the front you simply give us the money, and we give you the time. The time also comes with a nice place to hang out! It's called the room lost in time. Of course, the name is hyperbole, but... anyways, the room is a great place to do whatever it is you want to be doing. There are tables, beanbags, couches, televisions, chargers, and bathrooms! In short, it's the perfect place to go and hangout! If you have time to spare-which you will have-you can visit our gift shop afterwards! Our gift shop is a great place to grab a memento to remember your stay by! We have shirts! Shirts that say awesome things like "Time Traveler," "Back to the Present," and "Seize the Moment-then make it last a lifetime." We barely got that last one to fit on the shirt. The marker stopped working about halfway through, so that's why the last few words are a different color. Also, it's probably worth mentioning that no clocks or watches are allowed in the building. We must ask that you leave your watches at home, and disable the clocks on your digital devices. We find that the... time aura in the clocks interferes with the procedure. Also, we ask that you get a fair distance away from the building before turning your clocks back on, about, let's say, far enough away for us to pack up and flee, should the need arise. Oh! And don't forget our catchphrase, "A fool and his money are soon par-" Uh. I MEANT to say, "Never leave 'till tomorrow what you can do today." And by tomorrow, we meant today, and by today, we meant right now. That's right! Right now! There's plenty of time to waste, but frankly, we'd rather you pay us while doing so. (Please comment what you thought of this! I'd love to hear your feedback!)
