The Clock of Tranquility

Now the nights are growing longer, I love spending an extra ten minutes or so snuggled under my duvet before getting up. As I love the works of Edward Monkton, I wrote this 50 word story as a homage to his writing style

The Clock of Tranquillity

“Good Morning. It is six thirty,” says the Clock.

I open one eye, “So I must get up now?”

“No, you must stay in bed a little longer to

THINK about getting up.”

“But I will be LATE!”

“Yes, but you will be more BEAUTIFUL!”

With that, I sighed contentedly.
