“See, our best filament only lasted ten minutes, and this fluke was rounding twenty. So people started to chatter. And thirty minutes, forty minutes, an hour, two hours. Then people started to shout. And remember, we hadn’t got past ten minutes. The boys were climbing up the walls, tearing their hair out. Because it was impossible. Seven hours. Eight hours. Nine. We were silent when we hit ten. Just sat around that glowing bubble, drunk on our own magic, staring at it like it, I don’t know, like it was the baby Jesus playing Mozart. After thirteen and a half hours, the glass cracked, and I knew it. The world would never be the same. ”
