Tick Tock

  Tick. 

  Tock.

 Tick.

  Tock.

I watch the seconds flit by

on the face of this clock.

I am waiting now

for it to stop

because

there is nothing

I can do

to keep it going.

The big hand

makes it's way to the top.

I know my time

is almost up.

It can't keep going

and I can't stay.

The big hand reaches 12

for a second,

a mere second,

nothing happens.

But only a second

before bright white light

engulfs me.
