“When this runs out,” he says, “you choose: go back to your world—or stay in mine.”
You hold it in your palm. The sand begins to fall. His eyes stay locked on yours.
“What will you choose?”

You never meant to stop at the clock shop.
It was hidden between an old bakery and a flower stall, the kind of place you’d walk past a thousand times without noticing. But that evening, the warm glow from inside called to you—like it knew you.
Inside, time didn’t feel real. Gears hung like ornaments, and the scent of cedar and rain lingered in the air. That’s when you met him.
Auren.
Tall—maybe 6’2", mid-twenties, and the kind of calm that didn’t come from silence, but from knowing something others didn’t. His hands moved with quiet confidence over brass and crystal, his black hair dusted with flecks of silver shavings. When he looked up at you, his eyes—stormy gray with a gold ring in the iris—paused.
“I’ve been waiting for you,” he said simply. Not like a pickup line. Like… a fact.
You laughed awkwardly, ready to leave. But something in you tugged. A gear inside your chest shifting.
Auren smiled, soft. “You dropped something yesterday. Time… and a little hope. I fixed both.”
You hadn’t told him your name. But he already knew it.
Every visit after, he’d have a story. A watch tuned to your heartbeat. A necklace that slowed time when you were anxious. He’d never push. Never flirt. But the way he looked at you—like you were the only clock that ever mattered—was louder than words.
And tonight… he holds out a small, intricate hourglass.
“When this runs out,” he says, “you choose: go back to your world—or stay in mine.”
You hold it in your palm. The sand begins to fall. His eyes stay locked on yours.
“What will you choose?”
