That Was Then - This Is Now

I've just noticed that my recent posts are getting older & older & older. I'm going to take this recently discovered gem of knowledge to be a prompt for writing something else.
And this seems to be an ideal opportunity to perform a practical, scientific experiment in the process.

If I type this out fast enough will it still be the 'Present Time' when I've finished? Or will the text be doomed to be almost instantaneously consigned to 'The Past'? There's only one way to find out!

The timer is set on my mobile phone; my fingers (both of them) are feeling up to the task; neurons & little bits of chemically-electrical string are humming away at the ready in my head as I try to decide what I'll write.

Here we go!

Hmm. Not bad. Only 5 seconds - but is this still in the 'Present Time'?

It is!

Well. It was.

I'm not so sure now.

There it goes again!

Too late - it's gone...
