Something simmered through the trees

a sparkle a flash

But a quick as it came

it disappeared

alone again

tired, restless

it appeared again

this time it started to agitate me

i struggled to my feet

back achig

sweat dripping dripping

burning my eyes

dead leaves crunching under my feet

but as slow as i was moving

the shimmer dissappeared again

 i begin to run

as if i could find it

with no energy left

i stumble to the ground

and again alone

tired

hungry

i had to find something

something

anything

then the flash again

but this time it didnt anger me

it made me happy

i found the source

it was a necklace hanging from

a tree branch

waving in the wind shimmering

i pulled my self up

trying to reach this necklace

grabbing hold of it

then losing it

as if falls to the ground

i pick it up

analyzing it

it was a necklace

with a clock on the end

it was shattered but

the clock still ticked

i turned it around

and on the back their were

words inscripted into the back

" emu puem si ntyii"

I knew what it meant

the correct transaltion "For every moment"

what was it saying, whos was it

Im i really alone

Questions arose

But answers did not

i opened the back

but it was empty

no battery

or anything.

i closed it and turned it around

the clock was still ticking

the sun wasnt out anymore

how was this clock working

and what did the phrase mean?
