Tick Tock!

Prompt: Flash Fiction: Write a short story about a clock.
====

She says she hates my tick-tock. She says if she had her way, she would send me to the dumps as if I am a ticking bomb about to explode. She even asked her best friend to take me off her hands.

That fool! Would her life go on and on, if she didn't have a clock? Where would any life be if it had no pulse? Why doesn't she understand I’m her pulse of time, which she is in?

Maybe I’ll just do this. I’ll keep ticking faster and faster. This will make her time shortened in this life. Yes, I’ve already started making her clock go very fast.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock....

Isn’t revenge sweet!
