Passage of Time - A Little Drabble Do Ya! March 30th

[gevaudan1986.livejournal.com]

...tick ....

'Which is worse?' he wondered. Being hung in the darkness unable to measure the passage of time, or being forcibly, audibly reminded of it?

...tick ...

He tried to ignore it. But the sound burrowed into his brain, compelling him to count seconds passing.

...ticktick ...

He ruminated on the clock's poor time keeping, its faintly metallic sound and the dampness of his shirt, before he realised it was the sound of his own blood, spilling across the metal floor of his cell.

His blood, counting the passage of time, until Death came for him.

Or Napoleon did.

Bravissima! This is outstanding, positively brilliant! It reminds me of "Countdown," the wonderful short story by Nothingeverlost.

I only left a kudo on AO3 because I was speechless when I first read this, and 2nd time, and 3rd time ... It is so poignant. Almost like a haiku - in prose.
