Synopsis/Details
Spoiled teenager Tiffany breaks up with her boyfriend, Brian, and then receives a gift from him: A calendar. She decides to use it, figuring it will always remind her how grateful she is that he is out of her life. The first night the calendar is on her bedroom wall, she sleeps fitfully. Late at night, the pages of the calendar flutter again and again. Outside, the seasons come and go at a rapid rate. Inside, Tiffany ages with the speedy passage of time. Finally, with her bones so brittle from hastened years of rubbing against each other, Tiffany ignites - and the fire spreads to the house. Blocks away, her ex smiles over his chemistry set as he hears the fire truck sirens.
