When university student Evelyn visits a sleepy village for the summer, she stumbles upon an abandoned clock shop frozen in time - literally. Drawn by curiosity and a mysterious golden pocket watch, she unlocks a secret hidden for decades: a room where time bends, memories float, and a missing clockmaker waits in silence.

As the hands of forgotten clocks begin to move again, Evelyn must uncover the truth behind Mr. Thorne's disappearance - and her own unexpected connection to the magic of time.

The Clockmaker's Secret is a short, atmospheric tale of mystery, wonder, and the strange way time finds those who are meant to find it.



In a quiet village untouched by change, an abandoned clock shop sits sealed in dust and silence - every clock stopped at exactly 11:11. When curious university student Evelyn stumbles across the shop one summer afternoon, she finds more than just forgotten antiques. A mysterious note and a golden pocket watch lead her into a hidden world where time loops, memories float in the air, and a long-lost clockmaker is trapped between seconds.

As Evelyn unravels the truth behind the shop's eerie stillness, she discovers that time is not just ticking - it's watching. And it has chosen her.

A spellbinding short story filled with mystery, wonder, and the quiet magic of forgotten moments, The Clockmaker's Secret asks: what would you do if time opened a door just for you?Alle Rechte vorbehalten

Borrowed Time von JasonWright143

In the quiet shadows of a small-town mortuary, Margaret and her enigmatic husband Edwin live a life surrounded by death, offering solace to grieving families and preparing the dead for their final rest. But beneath the surface of their seemingly ordinary existence, lies a dark and dangerous secret. For centuries, Edwin has extended his life through the use of mysterious hourglasses-each containing the stolen time of those who have passed. As long as the sands keep falling, so too does Edwin's unnatural youth. But his immortality comes at a cost, one that Margaret is unaware of... for now. As Margaret begins to notice strange occurrences in the mortuary-footsteps in the night, missing bodies, and a new arrival who refuses to stay dead-she starts to unravel the truth about her husband's agelessness and the sinister hourglasses hidden in their home. The deeper she digs, the more she is drawn into a world where time can be bought and sold, where life and death are no longer absolutes, and where the price of eternal life is far steeper than she ever imagined. Now, Margaret must confront a devastating choice: whether to stand by her husband and partake in his unnatural existence, or shatter the hourglass that has bound him to this world and face the consequences of undoing time itself. Borrowed Time is a haunting tale of love, immortality, and the moral boundaries between life and death. As the clock ticks down, Margaret must decide what it means to truly live-and whether time is something to be treasured, stolen, or sacrificed.
