Wonderful write! Very imaginative and creative. I like how you had done a role reversal on this one. - Like we are not watching the clock, rather, it's the clock watching us.
Nicely done. I enjoyed this one very much. Especially, they have ticked and tocked the lives of some old folks older than even I. I love the imagery that this line produces.
