Tick-Tock This is a Clock
I have a question for you. What is Time? Everyone talks about this elusive creature called Time, but has anyone ever found it? What does it even look like? Is it some sort of genie, that grants all of your wishes? Or is it a nasty troll, that steals moments away from you before you Continue reading
