10 Minute Hourglass Novels & Stories

Break what? Her gaze travelled to the hour glass at that moment and it clicked. The hour glass. He had sent it. Roxanne stared at the text and then at the hour glass. At last, she tucked her phone away without typing a response and carried the hour glass fl keep on her shelf. Maybe there was no need to return this to him. The thought made a smile cross her lips as she turned away and face her assistant. "What's first today?" "You have a meeting in about ten minutes and the client would all be here." Bella informed.

Avery took her place at the designated workbench, the scent of aged cedar and pine resin grounding her. She pulled on a pair of fine, lambskin gloves. “Twenty minutes on the hourglass,” Gregory announced, his smirk sharpening. He flipped the sand-timer onto the stone table without checking if Avery had even centered the tray.

Sabine explained. "Would it help?" she asked eyeing her skeptically. "It should at least, I can't guarantee a 100%," Sabine finished with the sage and tossed the remnant in the sink. She pulled open her drawer and brought out a small round stopwatch, after fiddling with it, handed it to him "This stopwatch is set one hour. Press the red button immediately after you enter Hades' lair. I don't know how time moves on that side, but this watch would keep you informed of the real-time over here."

My glasses hit the floor and shattered under Leon's boot. "Leon! Look at the panel! That's a core overload warning!" I struggled, my cheek scraping against the metal until I felt skin break. Leon flipped open my case and stared at the canisters of silver liquid inside. "What is this? No labels. Looks like some kind of toxic chemical to me." He picked one up, like he was about to smash it on the ground. "Don't! That's high-purity nano repair compound. There are only three cans left in the entire shelter!"

Levi said, thinking hard about it. Ana looked around on the shelf trying to find it. The basement had many racks. It was hard to find the hourglass. Levi tried to remember on which rack he had seen it. He scanned each rack quickly and spotted the required item. "It's on that shelf." He said, pointing at it. Ana looked in the direction towards which he pointed. She took the hourglass and went towards him. The hourglass was neither too small nor too huge. It was golden in colour. It wasn't like any other normal hourglass that consisted of sand in it. Strangely, there was a golden globe inside it.

Ril didn't understand what I was doing, but just like an owner minding his own business he didn't bother to ask. Of course, it failed many times. The time I am calculating got completely different from it and after so many trials it was completed. And I arranged a large stone to fall down after each hour is completed. Two for an hourglass, and made 3 of the same kind so that I can know the time every six hours. Ril was so confused, but he patted my head as soon as he found out what I was doing. Today, It's the 5th day It was too peaceful that I can even hear the sand falling down the papers.

I gently held her hand that was touching my chin and brought it to my lips for a simple kiss to threatened her in a respectful way. She just pulled her hand from mine as she gave me a glare first before she turned her back on me and steps towards the tree where she first appeared and the jar placed in its hole, turned into a sand clock. There is only more sand in its upper part, and very little sand falls into its lower part. It is as small as a needle but as time goes on, it wears out. That means it's Travis' clock.

I​ couldn't wait hours​. "Lorenzo," I whispered, g⁠rabbin​g his jaw, forcin‌g hi‍m to‍ look at me. His‍ e‍yes were wild, fran⁠tic. "The c‍ontractions are four minutes a​part.

“Please keep it for me. I’ll take it back after an hour.” An hour? The waiter asked, “Aren’t you going to the Room of God?” “Yes.” “But, did you say you’d come and get it an hour later? Do you know the rules? The prerequisite for you to enter the Room of God is that you have to fight from the first floor to the tenth floor, then you have to defeat all experts on the tenth floor. The fastest record currently is one day by Capricorn. Do you want to get to the floor in one hour? Are you insane?”

The five birds calmed themselves. "Soheila, you're planning something aren't you?" Zachary whispered and chuckled. Luna crossed her arms. "No, she's just bored and will sit there for 25 minutes." "Typical Soheila." Maximo chuckled. "Well, she can refine a high-rank pill for 5 minutes while Sirene can refine a high-rank pill for 10 minutes." Maximo glanced a Sirene who had a serious expression as she refine her pill.
