The Pocket Watch

I can hear the ticks.
The ticks, the tocks...
The time.
I can hear the time.

I can hear the commotion.
The excitement, the chaos...
The adrenaline.
I can hear the adrenaline.

I can hear the footsteps.
The forest, the voices...
The ambush.
I can hear the ambush.

I can hear the gunshots.
The screaming, the orders..
The death.
I can hear the death.

I can hear the bullet.
The bullet that struck the time.
The clock.
Now time has stopped.
