Clocks, you see, are essential for life, and for death.
People's souls are intricately tied to their individual clocks; so long as the hands tick, life goes on. A person's life (or lack thereof) is wholly dependent on their clock, not disease or even age. The Guild is in charge of making each person's clock, the device that anchors each soul to time. Without their clock, a person can exist in the past, the present, and the future, all at once.
Time is the heart of this world, a world of clockwork monsters and spinning hourglasses, of skilled mechanics and visionary makers, of magic and mayhem. Enter if you so wish, but be warned: you will not be the same when you leave.
^^This is a collection of different short-to-medium stories set in the Clockwork Universe. (NOT fan fiction of anything)

This is a fic based in the 1970's era or somewhere around that. It is mainly based around the family of Clockers in Limited Life. Trying to combat the constantly counting down time. There will be 70's slang (That I might be using completely incorrectly, I wasn't alive back then), and technology from then. It's going to include the Clockers (Cleo, Scar, Bdubs), the Ties (Tango, Impulse, Etho, Skizz), The Bad Boys (Grian, Joel, Jimmy). Written by: Cosmo + Caspian She tried a ton off stuff. She was scared for herself, but when her clock got under a minute, her heart was going super fast. Then it ticked down, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0. She closed her eyes, but still could hear the world around her. The clock ticking, the fax machine still ringing, the lights still buzzing. She opened her eyes and looked down at her wrist where the timer was, -0:20, -0:21, -0:22. Then she felt her heart stop, this was the moment. She felt her lungs stop taking in air, her blood stopped moving around in her body, but she was still conscious. Watching her timer, -1:30, -1:31, -1:32. She sat there for another 10 minutes, waiting, but nothing happened.Complete

The Greylands: Modern Edition
A land of shadows, of mystery, of obfuscated Truth. Welcome to the Greylands, that strange world, within the bounds of Time, peopled by mortal men. We cannot see truly, only as through a glass, darkly. There are things that move and have their being completely beyond our ability to perceive them. There are things beyond our mortal ability to comprehend. There are hints and glimmers hidden within the body of revealed Truth, but there is much we do not know, cannot yet understand, and could never dare dream. These stories are mere fancy, with a seed of Truth at their core. They play with the ideas of mortality and Eternity, Time and things beyond it, and of course the epic battle of Good against Evil. Each stands alone, and though there are common themes, threads, names, and concepts, each story is an entity unto itself and should not be seen as occurring in the same world or mistaken for installments of a series. These are random musings, not Gospel Truth, and should not be taken as such. Joy, hope, and encouragement are hopefully a byproduct, but certainly not sound Theology. If you would know more of the true world beyond these Greylands, one must be a careful student of the Scriptures, not of silly stories such as these. While still fairytales, these stories are set in modern surroundings rather than the land of Faerie! Each story is unique unto itself, and doesn't reference any other story, world or character elsewhere.Complete
