A short fantasy comic about grief, centered on a wall clock as a symbol of the passage of life.
“During my childhood, I would spend my summer vacations at my grandma’s house. It was like a museum, full of curiosities“
“My favorite object was the large pendulum clock. It ticked constantly, day and night”
“Years passed, and I did not return to that house until my grandma fell ill and I was sent to look after her. The place was exactly as I remembered it, only a bit dustier. It was exhausting. I had to administer her medication every four hours, without fail. It was during one of those sleepless nights that it happened”
I didn’t hear any snoring and it scared me, it’s time for your medi-ci-ne!!??”
“Grandma died that night. I told myself it was a dream. But the large pendulum clock disappeared”
