Summary
For as long as he could remember, the loud uneven ticking of his grandmother’s kitchen clock filled the old farmhouse house where his family gathered for holidays, storms, arguments, and ordinary afternoons. Even after the clock stopped working years before her death, his grandmother refused to throw it away.
When she died, the family made a strange last-minute decision: they buried the broken clock beside her in the coffin.
A few nights later, he woke in his apartment to the unmistakable sound of it ticking somewhere beyond the bedroom.
What followed over the next several years was never dramatic enough to feel like a haunting. The ticking only appeared during certain moments—hospital waiting rooms, sleepless nights, births, deaths, endings. Always faint. Always familiar. Always impossible.
Then, more than a decade later, he found the clock’s brass winding key in a box of old belongings… despite remembering with absolute certainty that it had been buried with her.
