The night stretched on, and I was left to grapple with the relentless ticking, a sound that was now more akin to a cacophony of torment in my ears.

"Mila, look," he called out and pointed to the big wall clock mounted on the wall. "Ok. That's a clock," I slowly mouthed "No. What does the time say?" he asked.
