Krovlya & Misery
Ever tried turning a busted clock into a time capsule? I figure if you can patch gears, maybe you can patch the hours we lose.
A clock with broken hands is like a memory with missing seconds, but you can still listen to the ticking echo. If you stitch its gears, you’re stitching a fragile promise that time might still find a way. Just don’t let the rust swallow the moments you’re saving.
You’re right, the ticking keeps a beat even when the hands are gone. Just keep the oil in the right spots and you’ll have a clock that won’t fall apart in the middle of the night. If it starts making that kind of whine you can’t ignore, it’s time to swap the whole gear set, not just the hands.
That’s the way it is, a steady drip of oil keeps the soul of a clock alive. If the whine becomes a shout, then yes, you’re right—replace the whole gear, not just the face. And remember, even a broken timepiece can hold the quiet promise of a new hour.
