One thing which will assist in the full understanding of this story is it has several portions written to invoke each reader to become one or perhaps both of the main characters involved. It is also intended to stir empathy with each character, as it may be pertinent to the reader. There are several themes allowing an opportunity for the reader to imagine the position of each character as if that position were real, and in many cases the odds of such an occurrence are most probable, as the idea of the circumstances came from observations of everyday life and human emotions. Although the story only involves two individuals, which happen to be a male and female, it could also very well apply to a number of conditions as wide and as open as a phantasm of the mind and illusions of make-believe. Such an event has happened in the past and will most likely occur again in the future. If you believe long enough, hard enough, real enough, it could also happen to you in A Matter of Time.
