Shifts in Time

One/One

Tick Tock. Tick Tock.

I watched the hand go round as the seconds passed by noiselessly. Had it really been so long since he left, or does it just feel like he's been gone for centuries? I stare at its face thoughtfully. Only two minutes... The long hand has only met the twelve twice, and yet I already feel that he is far away.

Tick Tock. Tick Tock.

Maybe there is something wrong with it. Maybe it's hands are tired from moving all day and they wanted to take a nap. It could not have possibly only been two minutes.
