Time started ticking; tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.
The grandfather watch kept ticking on that wall in a steady speed yet the time seemed to go so fast hurried to pass. Time was so important, yet at that moment was inessential. Ticking and speeding, forwarding events impatiently as the Gods watched from above excited for the two to meet and finally reunite. It kept ticking, loudly and clearly on that colorless wall and inside that empty cell. A room where no light can be seen and a covered figure hidden under a layers of faded blankets. Her ears covered by her tiny hands as she rocked herself back and forth. Desperately, calming her frightened heart.
