Time on My Mind

I got a new wall clock this week. It cost $3.98. Functional, but not pretty. It's most outstanding feature is the tick, tock. It tick,tocks authentically as it counts down the seconds of each day. For a cheap clock it does it proudly, which is to say, loudly.

I'm thinking of selling it to the secret service to use as a torture device. Just shove a spy into an isolated cell with nothing to hear all day long but TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK.

Trust me. Even James Bond would be spilling his guts in an hour or two. Which is 30 ticks and 30 tocks an hour.
