I was the monster. Only, it was different.
I am Richard K. Blake, of the Citystate 3 temporal police force, and this situation was not something I had expected.

[WP] The clock stops ticking | Tick Tock. Tick Tock. Tick.
I look up to the clock in my cubicle
My sleepy haze is a little less thick
As I stare at the second hand that appears unmovable
No one notices the change but me
And after ten minutes of fiddling with the clock
My coworkers begin to plea
It's working fine - are you feeling okay... | Big Ben's brittle bones couldn't bear the rhythmic beating it brought. Ticking became tedious and tiring, and telling time a torture.

[WP] The clock stops ticking | The constant beat of its stoic heart,

Until the day it spoke no more,
And from its gears, our life we tore.

[WP] A scientist discovers the real reason why humans need to sleep. | I was horrified. The realisation hit me like a train. 7 billion people living on Earth and only enough souls to cover half of them.
