Run

Imagine this...

You're running, and as you go around and around the track, it seems like the distance shortens. The finish line is closer every time you look up. But does this mean that things are getting easier, or that you have less to run for?

And what if you notice you're running more slowly with each lap? Every time you complete something, you have to try even harder to finish the next, even though it looks easier?

And what if you're racing someone? And even though your track is on the inside, they're gaining on you?

And what if you don't know why this is happening?
