Time and Memory

Written by Alice

Have you ever felt like everything was moving at twice its normal speed? Sounds, voices, and movements seem to speed up while you're moving in slow motion. Tachysensia is a rare perceptual phenomenon that temporarily distorts the perception of time and sound, making everything feel faster than it actually is. This poem explores my experience with this strange sensation.
