The Timekeeper’s Journal
Max Thompson had always been fascinated by clocks. His bedroom was filled with them—old pocket watches, sleek digital clocks, and even a large, ornate grandfather clock that had been in his family for generations.

He ran down stairs joyfully, Spaghetti Bolognese aromas filling his nostrils. Yum! he thought. He had his dinner, bolting it down. He didn’t tell him ma and pa about his adventures, that was a secret. What would happen next? he thought as he went to bed. He wasn’t sure, but he would find out tomorrow. He fell asleep, unaware he was falling down as if his bed had opened up, swallowing him. Down, down, down back into the darkness…
