"The Clockmaker's Curse"

When every clock in the town of Virelle suddenly stops ticking, time itself freezes. Only four strangers remain awake - Emi, a curious inventor; Alexa, a brave knight-in-training; Misoo, a gentle musician; and Ari, a mysterious witch.

Together, they journey into the abandoned Clockmaker's Tower to uncover why time has stopped. What they find is not just gears and magic, but a ghostly creator who has grown tired of humanity's rush through life.

As secrets unfold and emotions rise, the four must learn that time isn't meant to be controlled - it's meant to be cherished.

A short fantasy tale about friendship, forgiveness, and finding meaning in every moment. ⏳✨
