--------------------------------------------The United States of America---------------------------------
----------Clockmaker, Frank-------------
I smile fitting the cogs in place, each with its own special carvings on the shiny steel. Each peice took hours to carve. Theres a knock at the door of my small workshop. "I'll be right there!" i yell, quickly putting away a delicate unfinished watch. After stuffing all my 'special' materials into the proper drawers i walk to the door. I quickly pull it open, standing outside is a the mayor. "Have you heard Frank, your wife was convicted of being a witch. They've already caught her...i thought you should know." he says. My eyes widen and i nod "Thanks." i say and close the door. 'They've been getting closer. Soon i might even be included in this insane hunt....even though they wouldn't be wrong for that.' i think quickly getting back to work. The watch is only half completed, still missing several important peices. It's been constructed in a different way, when it's finished it'll have 6 hands and it'll count backwards. I carve several more markings into a few new cogs and quickly put them together inside the watch.
--------------Several months later-----------------
I stoop over the watch, putting the finishing touches on its sheer metal casing. All six hands look up at me from inside their glass covering. I open the cover to the watch and begin to shine it. All of a sudden the door caves in, and in walks several of my neighbors. They grab me by the wrists screaming about me being a witch. I just smile and pull away, but as i do a dagger flies by me. Blood splatters onto the watch and i smile,'Finally it's finished.' i think. I give in and let them drag me away, smiling to myself about the thing i had dreamed of and its completion.
They tie my hands and lead me to my noose. I laugh and scream out one last thing before i won't speak anymore. "Death has no suprise left for me...let it come like the time on a watch!!" i yell.
