what if i said
i actually have an original story idea—
okay HEAR ME OUT
when you're born, a clock is specially handmade for you. most people disregard it, burying it in the ground or even going to lengths like burning it. after all, who wants to keep a clock that counts every second till your inevitable last breath?
···
oc #1 has never really liked oc #2 - their personalities just clashed a lot and they never really paid attention to each other. however, oc #1 accidentally gets a glimpse of oc #2's clock on new year's eve - 365 days. that's what it says.
···
“aren't you scared?!” oc #1 croaked, letting out a strangled choke. his lungs felt as if they were aflame, the oxygen he inhaled sparking flames within his blood. he couldn't fathom it. how could they even bring themselves to smile the way they did when they knew—
“oh, i am.” came the timid reply. with that, oc #1's voice died down, frustration dissolving. and he'd never forget it. the pitiful smile they wore adorned with the dried tears that lined their cheeks that night.
the clock struck twelve. 364.
they shone so brightly then. “can't wait.”

hear me o u t
I could try making this a webcomic or something of the sort
but ofc i would have to draft it this way
and I'm not sure if i would actually be willing to do this much for a book but like this is a start
