Everything dies,

It was vain,

To think,

I could,

Cheat death.

Everything dies,

And I didn't want to,

So I tried to cheat,

To live for eternity,

But in reality,

I was living in hell,

Watching everyone I loved,

Disappear in a blink of an eye,

Watching the worlds dies,

Watching the stars go out,

And watching the universes collapse.

I hadn't cheated death.

Death had gotten the last words,

And I was naive to believe,

I had won.

I happen upon a watch,

A strange pocket watch,

It looks old and vintage,

But is still has a shine,

A shine like none I’ve seen.

It is ticking,

Ticking consistent.

I pull the crown.

The ticking stops,

As does the words around me,

Everything is frozen.

I press it back,

Everything is fine,

Normal.

I twist the hands forward,

And backwards,

The world follows.

Smiling I laugh,

Now I control time,

But there must be,

Some consequence?

I walk down the street,

Making sure the time is correct.

People brush past,

I do not notice anything,

At first.

I can no longer be seen.

I was just walking home from work. I never asked to be dragged into this mess, but here I am. Just a normal girl standing in front of a dead body. Yes, I know that doesn’t sound very normal. I didn’t ask for him to grab me. I didn’t ask for him to try to hurt me. And the worst part is, he would’ve gotten away with it if he had tried to pick on any other girl walking down this street. I can’t stand people like him. There’s no reason for them to do what they do. They think they’re so tough, but taking that knife from his hand was the easiest thing I’ve ever done. And although I’m still alive, it seems like he has won the fight. I have nothing to do with his body. I’m sure my fingerprints are everywhere. Damn. I was starting to like this city. I start walking away as fast as I can without looking suspicious. Before I can get very far, however, I feel something heavy hit the back of my head. I see the ground coming toward me fast. That was the last thing I remember.
