TAKE A WORD


We have TIME as our word for inspiration at Take a Word this week and that reminded me of a strange sight I saw, a week last Tuesday, from my bedroom window.  There in the darkness I saw a gentleman's pocket watch hanging there in the sky.  As I watched I noticed the timepiece was disintegrating before my very eyes as birds began to fly from it, or out of it.  I couldn't tell which.  But even stranger, as I looked closer, I saw a man desperately hanging from the minute hand of the timepiece and wondered where he was bound.  I never did find out because the very next moment the watch disintegrated totally and disappeared from sight.    One question ..... could it be the cheese I ate before bedtime?

Credits : timepiece and birds from the public domain.  The brave gentleman and the background are from my own stash.

Thank you for looking.

    I would love to have a piece of that amazing bedroom window. It's magical. Love the idea of the man trying to stop the clock. I enjoyed your story so much and then you went and spoilt it all by saying something stoopid like "it could have been the cheese before bedtime". You take us up there somewhere and then bring us back to earth. Don't lay off the cheese. Your fans enjoy your flights of fantasy.

    This reminds me a little bit on the great Charlie Chaplin and his movie "Modern Times". What a great playing!
