A few months ago, my watch stopped ticking. I stopped wearing it shortly thereafter. Weeks later I wondered where I had put my watch. It seemed to be lost, but it didn't bother me. It had stopped ticking. Present day. Upon flushing my toilet I noticed that it seemed to be plugged. It bothered me when this happened because i do not have a plunger. It also bothered me because a few days ago some new neighbors moved in next door.

The first day they moved in, the fuses that allow electricity to flow into my apartment stopped working. The fuses are old, they look like small lightbulbs, and cost 2 dollars each. I still haven't figured out which one connects to my kitchen, and I can't ask my landlord because i still haven't paid rent. All of the corn in my freezer is officially inedible.

And now, here i am with this toilet.

I began stabbing my toothbrush into the toilet hole with great force. I was surprised to find that there seemed to be something blocking the way. This should not have surprised me for obvious reasons. I tried to gouge it out and when i did a wave of terror went through me like shit through a chinese goose.

There, hanging on the end of my toothbrush was the watch.
Something was different about it. It took me a moment to figure out what. Then it hit me.

It was ticking.
