I watched the clock.
He had said to meet him at midnight, so I waited dutifully. It was nine fourty seven now. Only two hours, thirteen minuites left.
Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock...
I pruned my feathers and tidied the cage, nervously glancing at the clock as the seconds went by... There really didn't seem to be enough time to get ready...
Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock...
Sitting at the feet of Granny near the fireplace, as she knitted her scarf...
Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock...
I glanced at the clock, having just finished clearing droppings from the floor of my cage. Wow, had all that time really gone by?
Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock...
I watched as the pendulum swung back and forth in a rhythmic pattern, a melody of time as the seconds went by.
Couldn't the damn thing go any faster?
