    It’s a little less scary if you imagine Death slooowly moving the bead(?) across the abacus over the course of an entire year before starting the next one on your birthday.

      There’s an abacus for days once the years are up, and hours and minutes once the days are up. No need to count all that until the year they’re needed.
