The Clock #FridayFotoFiction
Tick, Tock. Tick, Tock. Ticked away the Railway Clock. Time and tide waited for no one. Who would know that better than this clock. Hanging high up on the ceiling of the railway station it had been a mute observer to everything that happened since it was first strung here. It was shiny and…
