Lost in time

I hear ticking, the big standing clock in the hallway making an insane noise, I can not cope with it. It is loud, i can hear it everywhere in the house.

Tick-tack, tick-tack.

Ok, maybe I will just get up from the desk, starch my back and walk around a bit in the house.

I turned on the radio, but doesnt matter what music is on, i can still hear the clock.

TICK-TACK... TICK... TACK...

Ohh God help me. I can't focus like this.

Dear reader, please tell the truth, how annoying is a big, antique, standing clock's ticking? It is obvious, Time standing there next to the clock, Death just on the other side and they counting my time back.

Every second, when the clock makes a noise, i want to jump up from my desk, run out to the shed and get the axe.

It would be such a joy, to destroy this clock and see Time's devastated face and Death anger. I am hopeless, just sitting here, every day, day by day and I never had the gut to get rid of this clock, as it used to belong to my great grandfather.

I was always scared of him, even now after his death, he has a power on me.

Fine, I have one solution left, the clock will stay here and I will move out.
