Threw The Dark And Against The Silence

A child sitting in an empty room in front of an old clock. Tick-tock, as the minutes go by. The child watches in silence. Tick-tock. The sound won't go away. Tick-tock. The room grows dark, light just on the old clock. Tick-tock. The child's eyes cut threw the dark. Tick-tock. The hour hand lands on twelve. Twelve o'clock, but no "tick-tock." threw the silence a child starts to scream. The sound seems to be coming from the clock as the child's young eyes still watch in silence. The screaming grows and the child in silence now curled up in tears.
