“Time, something so intangible and mysterious. I recall it as clear as as day when i was just heading over to high school, but to think time would take it all from me. Time just flows smoothly but like a big river it submerges all memories and takes it all away along with the waves.” sigh an old sigh that seemed to contain the vissitudes of life resounded in the hospital ward.

  Kranos looked outside of the ward through the transparent window, there he could see his children and his grand children, his aged face seemed to contain an imperceptible smile. After living for a couple decades he was now 90 years.

  He was at the st moments of his life, he could feel it. It was said that when you’re on your deathbed you would feel when your soul slowly leaves your body and at this moment he could sense that feeling.

  “So it is that time.” he slowly raised his aged hand, although his body was weak he could manage to do this much, something that looked like an antique clock, as small as his palm sixe rested on his palm.

  “If what the legends say is true, this would give me the ability to control time in my next life,” he sighed, although he didn't fully believe this, there was nothing he could do about it, he was already about to die, he might as well just have a little hope before he left this world.

  After gaxing at it for a few moments he closed his eyes, his breathing slowed down vividly, he pced the watch on his heart. Although he wasn't fully hopeful he couldn't help but make a wish, an old man’s dying wish.

  The moment he pced the watch on his heart it stopped beating.

  Beep…

  The machine measuring his pulse turned into a straight line alerting his family members outside.

  “Dad!”

  “Grandpa!”

  Loud shouts was heard from outside the room, “doctor! My father is not breathing!!! Do something, anything!”

  The doctor that had just rushed after a button was pressed rushed into the room to check kranos vitals, after a few minutes he sighed and replied, “there is nothing that can be done, he is dead.im sorry for your loss.”

  “No!” kranos first son groaned in pain as he stared at his father’s body that was slowly turning cold. The next moment he sighed then bowed ignoring the cries of his siblings, wife and children, he bowed and said, “i wish you a safe journey on your next life.”

  What nobody could see was a slight vanishing trace of golden light where kranos previously pced his hand, the antique watch was nowhere to be seen!
