Hold Back Tomorrow

In a quiet schoolyard hemmed by a low white stone wall, Margy clings to the simple joy of being young, even as the world around her stretches across centuries. A chance encounter with her classmate Clyde turns the ordinary pause into a tense exchange about the aging teacher, known only as Teach, whose body has withstood four hundred years and now faces a final fifty. Their conversation cracks open Margy’s hidden dread of death and the strange reality of a society where people outlive generations.

As the day unfolds, Margy feels the pressure of growing up while trying to hold onto the carefree moments that define her childhood. Clyde’s nervous request hints at something deeper, pulling her toward a decision that could change the balance between innocence and the inevitable march of time. Listeners are invited into a thoughtful, slightly eerie coming‑of‑age story that questions what it means to age in a world where tomorrow seems endless.
