Tock and the Evening He Slowed Down
Tock was a mantel clock who ran slow and believed himself broken, always behind a hurried family. A gentle bedtime story about feeling out of step, one evening everything finally slowed down, and the gift of lingering longer. For every little one who feels like they move at the wrong pace.

Tock ran slow, and thought himself quite broken. On the mantel, Tock ticked softly by fire. The family rushed past, always fast, always ahead.
Tock strained his gears, trying to speed up. His hands jerked oddly, chiming at wrong times. Always behind, he felt hopelessly, sadly wrong.
Soon no one glanced his way at all. One evening, the family gathered, rushing as always. Plates cleared fast, and no one truly talked.
His slow hands chimed warm through the room. Slowly, the family settled, matching his gentle pace. Laughter lingered, no one reached for their coats.
Now Tock ticks slow, and family lingers longer.
