THURSDAY TALES: THE CLOCK TOWER
I looked out the window and I watched the hands move on the clock across the courtyard. Minute by minute, they ticked away.
I'd always knew this day was come. When I got involved, I knew what could happen. But somehow, I never thought it would happen to me. Like I was immune from the risks inherent in the situation. Sure, I knew others who had fallen. But me? Never. I don't think it really ever entered my mind that I would somehow ever be here in this room, facing what I'm facing today.
I thought I was superhuman. But, as it turns out, I'm just normal-human.
The hands ticked again. Up to 12. There was a pause, as if the clock itself was inhaling sharply, unwilling to toll its bell and signal the beginning. I waited, and eventually it could stall no longer.
The bell rang out.
The door to my room opened.
And suddenly it was all dark.
Today was Execution Day.
