Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
The sounds he heard as he sat in the small apartment taunted him.
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
He stared at the small clock above the door. The silence, minus the annoying ticking, was unbearable.
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
He looked back down at the floor, his feet dangling from the chair. He was waiting for the man to come back.
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
He looked at his hand. The bandage on it was old from wearing for a few days.
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
He looked back at the clock. He wished he was strong, that he didn't have to meet this man each day.
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
He finally gave up and hopped off the chair. He slowly opened the door and ran down the hall to the stairs.
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
The sound never left his head as he tried to run down the stairs, his young legs tripping over each step.
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
It was making him go insane, even when he went outside, the sound continued.
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
He covered his ears as he sat down on the ground, tears trickling down his face.
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
"Make it stop! Make it stop!"
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
His young voice didn't carry far. He looked around, hoping, wishing, someone would come get him.
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
He laid on the grass and let the tears fall. No one was there. No one helped him.
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
His breathing slowed as he laid there. He was never to run, to get frightened.
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
His disease... It killed him.
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
That was the last thing that he heard.
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
Poor little boy... all alone.
Tick Tock...
Tick Tock...
