[ WP ] You wear a watch that does not work .

I glance at my watch. I do n't know why, dam thing has n't run in forty years, force of habit probably. I could have gotten it repaired I suppose must of walked past a few thousand clock repair shops in that time, full of old men with tweezers and magnifying lenses who could take it apart, Polish it up and have it running like new again. But I do n't, it's served me well for the last century or so and now it may rest as all things do. And besides it serves as a reminder of the past now, a reminder of my first wifes face smiling as she came back to the house with what milk she could get from the cow or ran after my son, bless him dead for more years then I could count and still bring a smile to his father. Still it's fiting that this, one of the few items that has lasted a notable length of time would be here when I put these old bones to rest once and for all.
