The Insanity

The clock will keep ticking.
Tic, tic, tic, tic...
It will always tick no matter the circumstances. It never speeds up, nor does it slow down. It stays at one consistent pace. Time shows no mercy. It is blunt and merciless, almost like a killer. It's like no matter what you want, it will never seem to stop or end the tourment you call life, until you, well... die. It will just keep going after that, too, spreading it's terror over many others, only for them to realize that their time may come to an end soon.
Maybe, it's not their end yet. Maybe it's a loved one, an enemy, or even a complete strangers time to go. Even then, there is no way to stop time's killing spree. Even after all of time's countless murders, it still continues on in the same dull fashion.
Knowing this, for some people, twists them and tears them apart, knowing that they have no way to stop any of this or, hell, even speed it up. To know that they can't stop how much time is taking a toll on there fiancé, or how cancer is eating their grandparent bit by bit.
If only they had the time to do this, or that they should've had enough time to do that, it's always the same excuse.
They ran out of time, and eventually? Eventually, time drove them to the insanity of hearing that clock 'tic' at the same beat in time.
