“Time continues on no matter what happens. It is alright to feel a little emotion, but too much might make you want to stop the passing of time altogether, and that is something that must never come to pass." Brynnia Ceas’s life is ruled by clocks. Her Great Line, the Ceas Line, is expected to be exactly like the enchanted clocks that never stop ticking – moving forward at all times, obedient and emotionless. Yet Bryn is unsatisfied with these rules and traditions and seeks something more from life – freedom, choice and the feeling of being alive. On the day of her coming of age, the princess learns of a plot against her Line that puts her whole family in danger. Surrounded by people she does not know if she can trust, she can only rely on two very different entities – her commoner friend, Gale, and the clock she keeps with her at all times, Elian. Time is running out and the race against the clocks to save everything she has ever known might bring Bryn to a truth she may not want to realize: that she is indeed a clock, even after everything she has done to fight against it. - Time never stops Complete

This poem speaks from a place of darkness I often visit, where I feel the extetentional fear so many do. That everything is pointless, that I am pointless. The poem is about feeling so very lost and inadequate, to wanting some direction, some purpose. To me clocks are worthless, as time is a man made construction and does not have any worth, and isn't there a sort of pointlessness in time? And the spinning of clocks? - Existentialism or The Ticking Clock Complete

Fate can be strange and abrupt, rushing in when you least expect it. We can't forsee it. When destiny and love knocks on your door, you won't even notice. Even so, time passes by day by day, bringing in unexpected surprises and opportunities. How do you know that its meant to be? We can't. Only time can. Wherever you go, time is bound to your life, hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second. With this short story, I hope to capture the essence of a first love through a little rain, a smatter of coffee and a sprinkle of time. An odd combination, but a combination that works nontheless.

When you read this title, what did you think?? Before I had even thought of making this idea a book I came the realization, that life practically revolves around a ticking Machine with 3 sticks that move around a bunch of numbers. We call this thing a clock, and as the rules of Society tell us, we let this thing control us, tell us where to go, what to do...wait........Right?????? - ᴜɴᴄᴇʀᴛᴀɪɴ ᴅɪᴍᴇɴsɪᴏɴs Ongoing

Featured on the official _ShortStory_ profile! Clocks, you see, are essential for life, and for death. People's souls are intricately tied to their individual clocks; so long as the hands tick, life goes on. A person's life (or lack thereof) is wholly dependent on their clock, not disease or even age. The Guild is in charge of making each person's clock, the device that anchors each soul to time. Without their clock, a person can exist in the past, the present, and the future, all at once. Time is the heart of this world, a world of clockwork monsters and spinning hourglasses, of skilled mechanics and visionary makers, of magic and mayhem. Enter if you so wish, but be warned: you will not be the same when you leave. ^^This is a collection of different short-to-medium stories set in the Clockwork Universe.
