Novel & Cerita Hours 127

“Sorry about your job. Alright bye. Talk to you later.” If anyone had told him last week that Clara would be sitting in my penthouse, he would have burst out in laughter. He would have laughed so hard in their faces. During the three days she has been here, Aiden tried so hard to avoid her. He left for work before she woke up. By the time he got back from work, she would have retired to bed. She goes to bed early, and he knew it was due to the whole engagement announcement stress.

A statue of a white wolf, with prominent blue eyes was built up at the pinnacle and below it was a large clock, ticking away. This was the clock. I rushed up the aisle, stepping onto the altar as I stood before the clock to see clearly. Then I realized that this clock was different from the usual ones we knew. Its values were a six hour interval where the seconds value was supposed to be. And a twenty-four hour interval for where the hours were supposed to be. What day is twelve o'clock? Twelve o'clock?

They had traversed the crowds in their exploration of Main until they had almost finished their coffee. Slowly but surely, the crowds started to thin as everyone wrapped up the last of that day's Christmas errands. Tony looked down at his phone and saw it was almost a quarter past eleven. It was the Eleventh hour! He remembered he had seen a twenty-four hour CVS a little ways back, and there was a Walmart close by. They'd check out both so they would have options.

They were at the middle of operating him when his heart stop and the sound of his flattening heart has been heard. 'Beeeeeeeeeeeeeppppppppppppp...' The sound of monitor when Simon has flattened his heartbeat. When the doctor heard that, they quickly use the defibrillators. "One! Two! Three!" He shouted and stick the defibrillators on Simon's chest trying to re start his heartbeat. When it was unsuccessful, they tried it once more and yet no response on the body of the patient. "Time of death two o'clock in the afternoon (2:00 pm)."
