The Clock That Waited for No One
A solitary clock hung in an old train station, ticking relentlessly despite the building’s emptiness. Travelers claimed its hands never slowed, not even for storms or celebrations. One evening, a young girl entered the station crying silently. As her tear fell onto the clock’s frame, the ticking stopped.
