The Clockmaker’s Curse

The Clockmaker’s Curse

By GoldenSpeechPublished 2 months ago 1 min read

Eleanor, a young watchmaker, inherits her grandfather’s workshop. Among the clocks and watches, she finds a strange timepiece that seems to run backward.

She soon notices that anyone who touches it experiences flashes of past events—not just their own, but those of strangers. Eleanor learns that her grandfather had discovered a method to manipulate time but vanished after creating this cursed clock.

As Eleanor experiments, she realizes that each alteration to the past creates a dangerous ripple in reality. The climax occurs when she accidentally erases someone she loves from existence and must race against time to restore the timeline without destroying herself.
