Contributors This month we asked Word contributors: What is time?
Marc Foster-Pert Writer / Photographer “Banged Up Abroad” Since the dawn of it, time is the stream of consciousness that glistens with memories to remind us we actually lived, in times gone by.
Tae Jun Park Writer “Student Eye” Time is like one of those lazy slackers who’s forgotten to do their assignment; they suddenly vanish the hour before the dead line. :)

Writer / Photographer “The sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death” — Pink Floyd
Fred Lai Intern / Photographer Time is still. Time doesn’t move, at all. Time definitely doesn’t pass slowly, and it surely doesn’t ‘fly’. It is a mere perception devised by us, driven by our desire to segment and organise our lives.
Ed Weinberg Deputy Editor “Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast, Oh, but what a shame if all we’ve shared can’t last. I can change, I swear, oh, oh.” — Bob Dylan

Chief Editor Time is something I never seem to have. As everyone tells me, stop rushing and slow down. My response? No rest for the wicked.
