Grandma's Clocks From Hell!

What do you do if you don't feel at home, while in fact you are at home? Where do you go?

Imagine someone who deserves every bit of your love, and still it's not enough. You're simply incapable of loving that person as much as he/she deserves. Have you ever felt this way about someone?

There's a wall clock in every room in my grandmother's house. Old ones... Noisy ones... Very noisy... And the house is small, so if the doors are open, you can hear the sound of each and every clock. A complete mad house... So when I stay for the night, I remove all the clocks from the walls and put them away in another room and close the door. If you think this is too much, then maybe I shouldn't tell you that I used to remove the batteries as well.

I'm alone with my grandmother. She's sleeping in her room, but the door is open. Now, I just put away the clock in the room that I'm in and the one in the hall in another room. But here's the thing, I still hear a ticking! It may be that there's a clock in my grandmother's room. Or, it's in my head and I'm going crazy! There's a simple way to be sure, I could just check her room. But I don't want to feed this ridiculous obsession by looking for a watch in the middle of the night. Besides, I might wake or scare her.

Speaking of obsessions... why does she have a watch hanging on the walls of every room? Why does she have to know the time this badly? Does she know some secret about time that I don't? I'm sure I asked her to let me get rid of some the watches as a responsible grandson, but obviously she refused.

In all great love stories, the girl waited for the man.
