Clocks don’t do as much as they could, especially grandfather clocks. Nowadays people don’t think much about clocks but a long time ago people thought they were magic because they could measure time. I heard a guy say that time was like water pouring out of a faucet but I think it’s more like chunky gumbo because some parts are thicker than others. Anyway, clocks have hands and faces because people thought they were small gods. Now that the clockworks are simple they would fill the grandfather clock case with other stuff, like an electronic brain and eyes, and they could attach arms and legs. I’m thinking we could let prisoners on death row free and save a lot of money on prisons because each one would be followed by a walking grandfather clock with long arms that would watch over them and count their time down. No matter where they went or what they did that clock would follow them and keep ticking away. When their appeals were done the judge could push a button and the clock would come right after them with its long arms and then play a special song after it finished them off. It would backfire though because some people might get on death row just for the thrill of being followed around and hearing that clock tick.
