If time were for sale

What if time could be bought and sold? Or would it be for sale at all. I imagine it being owned by one sole proprietor, and on occasion, their would be a charitable contribution of time donated to the starving children of Africa this way they would starve for a longer time. That's the type of person who would own time. This would also be the same type of fella who would collect souls. There's something perverse in wanting to own the majority of anything. Perhaps there's a tingly sensation to it.

If time could be acquired. It would far outweigh the demand of any drug. People would have their children enslaved in trade for just five minutes. We would extract time from piles of worthless slop who have been sucking up valuable air. The death row inmates would be the first to be sapped.

There would be time knock offs sold next to fake Gucci purses. They would be in fancy flasks labeled TIME because, after all, it's not what it could that counts, it's that one can afford it.

TIME magazine person of the year would go to the one who can determine how much time each person has left. It would read like it does on our cell phones with a little alarm going off when we only have 10% left.

There are two things, that, upon thinking upon too long make me unhappy-time and money. So then why do I do it?
