In "The Time Keeper," Dor becomes a prisoner of his own creation: time. As he hears the desires of others who crave more of it, he inadvertently starts to fulfill his sentence, marked by the tolls of obsession. People around him are consumed by their wish to possess time, illustrating their constant chase away from the essence of life and into a complex darkness shaped by their own yearnings.

While Dor experiences time differently, the rush he observes in others highlights a universal struggle. Everyone else seems overwhelmed, racing against the clock, while he reflects on the deeper implications of this relentless pursuit. His journey shows how the desire for more time can lead to a disconnection from the present joy, emphasizing that the essence of life should be cherished rather than endlessly sought after.
