Four. 
 
 The darkness grows stronger with every passing day. I am lost inside myself, the clocks turning and the gears spinning. I have no prior recollection of these feelings, the past is dead to me and I am lost. 
 
 Three. 
 
 My father had a clock in his room. He used to wind it up before he went to bed. I used to sit on the floor and watch through the little window where you could see the gears spinning. My father died one day, in a field blanketed with violets. 
 
 Two. 
 
 Sometimes I would go outside and look at the birds. They flew in formation and made shapes. I would follow there movements and run into the things around me, like my mothers flower garden and my father's automobile. 
 
 One. 
 
 The clocks are still turning and I do not know why, but I wish they would stop and I wish that I could escape from them and go back to watching the birds. 
 
 Empty.
