A clock for life

[Adrian George Nicolae]

Tick, tock, tick, tock, made the clock located in the park.

Time was running out for him, but why only for him and not for anybody else?

He was in a space pause, meaning he could move while the rest were frozen in motion.

Inventing this pill in his lab, he swallowed it and hoped to conquer mankind, but he didn't think that if he failed to touch a big clock, he will die and be erased from existence.

Right now, he was running, for his life, towards that clock in the park, because that was the nearest big clock.

Seconds remained, and as he was sprinting, he kept hearing a voice saying to him "You have less than five seconds... four... three... two... hahahaha... " the voice laughed because he slipped in a puddle, thus preventing him to live any longer.

Interesting story, no doubt about it.  I think it could be a longer piece.

The more you think about clocks, the stranger they seem.  Like little meters chipping away at the tiny sliver of time we get called life, yet they really have nothing whatsoever to do with time because unless they're stopped (in which case they are fleetingly accurate twice a day), even the best are not in true sync with it.
