No Name Tim: Redemption

A Short Story

By Rees MarshallPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

No Name Tim is lost. He has decided that everything has nothing. Everything has no meaning, no purpose, and no name. Has anything ever been? Of course it has. Everything has been but nothing has lived. To live is to experience. Experience had to remain with the one who experienced it. If you lose what you’ve gained, did you ever have it? Of course you have, you just don’t remember what it was like to once have it. Maybe that’s where living lies. Remembering is the key to living. Can No Name Tim remember? Maybe he doesn’t remember but he can tell what we will remember. He understands meaning. More importantly, he understands what’s meaningful to us.

No Name Tim knows life is short. That’s why he has got to live it to the fullest. I think Tim’s life is coming to an end, but how can you end something if it hasn’t begun? He begins to question his life at the end of it. Tim questions if he ever actually lived. He can’t remember anything. I wish he could.
