It doesn't stop.

tick...tick...tick

It hurts.

tick...tick...tick

You crave silence, you crave peace. You're granted neither.

tick...tick...tick

You lift it off the wall. You look for a way to make it stop.

tick...tick...tick

Any way at all.

tick...tick...tick

It hits the wall.

tick...tick...tick

Again.

tick...tick...tick

And again.

tick...tick...tick

And again.

tick...tick...tick

You try to drown it out. You scream.

tick...tick...tick

And you scream.

tick...tick...tick

And you scream.

tick...tick...tick

You can't scream anymore.

tick...tick...tick

You leave it in the sink. Maybe the mechanisms will rust.

tick...tick...tick

tick...tick...tick

tick...tick...tick

You stare at it. It's mocking you.

tick...tick...tick

You hold it in your hand.

tick...tick...tick

You let your hand be enveloped by the molten wall in front of you.
