Ashes Into Dawn Entry for the "Sing Us the Song of the Century" Challenge By [] The night my mother passed, the sky outside my window looked unusually calm — as if it knew something I didn’t.

If I Tell You
Introduction This is based on the concept that if you tell someone what they should do, then they only do it to keep you quiet, so you have to give them gentle nudges to make them see the error of their ways.

When the Clocks Forgot to Tick
No one noticed when the clocks stopped. It was a quiet Tuesday morning, gray and unremarkable, when the tick-tick-tick that always lived in the background of Elina's small apartment simply vanished. At first, she thought the batteries in her old wall clock had died, but when she picked up her phone, it too had frozen—3:17 AM, eternally. No alarms, no notifications, no buzzing news updates.
