Eliot reed ran a strange little clock shop on a forgotten street. People said he could fix any time piece but only the ones they wanted to be fixed.
No one ever saw him leave, or where he came from.
One evening on a rainy day a girl named Lila entered holding a silver watch
"It belonged to my uncle, " she said "He vanished ten years ago" This started ticking last night.
Eliot frowned and said "some clocks do not tell time but truth" leads her to a back room
to see a crafted mirror with no hands but ticking as soft as heart beat
"Your uncle made a trade to hide from something" says Elliot
"I kept it here hid it in time"
Lila stares at the clock sees her uncle inside her eyes widened and begging
the ticking grows louder the lights flicker and when they steadied Elliot was gone
The shop was empty, only the ticking continued
The watch in Lila's hand starts tickling
