Clock face

The crowd was growing larger and rowdier around the circular table where my church friends and I were playing cards. This year, our ministry traveled to the desert heat in St. Francis, South Dakota. While playing, Lexi, a girl next to me slapped the center card, in response, the audience let out an “OOOOH,” then we all started laughing. While Lexi pulled the victorious card into her deck, I thought about the first time I met her. It was Intercity tennis and I played number one doubles with my…

First day of 6th grade. My alarm clock beeped loudly and obnoxiously. I snapped awake, I spun around and looked at my alarm clock it read 7:00am. I jumped out of bed knowing that I had to go into the shower and get ready for school. I turned my show on half way between hot and cold, the room quickly filled up with steam. My shower took around 10 minutes and I got dressed. I wear basketball shorts with a bright orange shirt. “I might make it” I whispered to myself. My heart was starting to stop…

system, running smoothly with each tooth landing in the same exact spot at the same exact time over and over and over. Strangely, the education system in America seems to be emulating this exact system. Yet if the american education system was a real clock, it would most likely be running backwards with 140 minutes in a hour. Education in the United States has aimed to achieve that perfect clockwork motion. Each student learns how to be a perfect gear, with each gear running correctly the…

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Off goes my alarm, I shoot out of bed and grab my suitcase and run up the stairs of my house so fast I thought I made a world record. The rest of my family is already up and ready to go. My 7th grade summer had just started, it was only a week in. My mom told us to go to the bathroom and then head to the car and store my things in the trunk of her Jeep Cherokee. Then we were off to the great falls airport. This trip to Great Falls took the longest, almost like the day before…

the servers or my employees. 12:00 PM - I put a paper to the glass window on the door, Jessica understands she stands up and starts walking towards the other side of the room “SIT DOWN!” He's close enough to the door I open it and punch him in the face in seconds 4 adult males jump on him, he's out “I think I have a way to delete the virus” said Jessica with excitement 5 minutes later everyone is desperately trying to delete the virus. The fire department has arrived “You've got to…

animals were crystal, others were ‘normal’ but those ‘normal’ animals had extremely soft fur, or feathers. Raven tore through layer after layer of glistening clouds, and as she flapped her powerful wings she twirled through the last layer and came face to face with the sky. She glanced at her timepiece and noted that she had ten minutes to spare. In an instant she made up her mind. She was going to enjoy her freedom before her meeting with Nick. She reached up to her hair and removed her…

Life has a way of continuing, of moving on without you, if you let it. Time keeps ticking, the earth keeps spinning and somehow, you keep breathing. Even when the world falls around you and buries you, you still breathe. Eventually, you get back up or face the alternative. Once upon a time, I wanted the alternative, but it wasn’t meant to be. And now I knew why. She was beautiful. Simply beautiful, as if that one single word could even come close to describing what I felt when I looked at her.…

from the London based financial information company taps into the need of people for leisure and calls them to thoughtful action about investments through pathos, logos and irony. The at first glance simple arrangement of a sentence fragment and clock parts creates a competition between money and time to entice adult readers new to the investment world to use the company for financial advice; cultured and expected responses are used in a negative light to engender trust and curiosity about the…

Intro In my world, everyone is born with a timer already implanted on their wrists. No one knows how or why we’re born with it: all we know is that it counts down to the moment you meet your soulmate. It took ages for people to reach this conclusion and still, it has been at the peak of human curiosity for as long as I could remember. The Timer has inspired a generous amount of literature (including many famous ones) and even more conspiracy theories than the universal question of life itself.…
