Tick-tock, tick-tock. Foot swinging. Fingers tapping. Slowly, slowly.

Tick-tock, tick-tock. Shadows. Faint outlines.

Tick-tick, tick-tock. Motion easing away. Rhythmic breathing.

Tick-tock, tick-a-tick-tock. A sigh. Soft. Soft sound, soft sight. Soft air.

Tick-tick-tick, tick-tock, tick-tock. Stirring. Resting.

Tick! Contemplating.
Tick! Wondering.
Tick! Appreciating.

Tick.
Tock.

Tick.
Tock.

Tick.
Tock.

Tick-
The midnight bell tolls.
