A pin drops.

A drop is poised at the end of a leaf, almost at it's descent.

A flame dances at the end of a candle wick, nearly at it's end.

A tree is choped at the end of it's trunk, about to topple.

A girl exhales at the end of the road, just about to die.

A bell chimes.

The drop falls to the ground and splashes into a million pieces.

The flame dies and there is no longer light.

The tree falls with a sickening thud.

The girl closes her eyes for the last time.

A clock ticks.

A plant gathers moisture from the ground, growing taller and straighter.

A dark figure passes the dark house, thinking no one is home.

A family gathers around a Christmas tree, singing carols a plenty.

A baby inhales, crying as it's brought into the world.

A cricket chirps.

An eye blinks.

A rooster crows.

And a world remains balanced.
