Ahh, my favorite editor finally shows her hand.
Desperation can lead to a very special moment in one's life when giving in is all that can be done. I love the clock! I like how you replaced the dichotomy of life and death with gratitude and servitude and it no longer mattered if she lived or died, but pleased or displeased.
Great Job!!
And since you didn't tell me you were posting this beforehand, expect quite a few tongue lashings young lady!
Liked the way you created this story from a different starting point - need and gratitude rather than curiosity. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.
I want to thank you all for your kind comments and lovely feedback. I am grateful to all who took the time to read this short story. It means the world to me-
The tone is great, it's not over the top at all. In fact, it's a little understated and I think that serves it nicely. Using gratitude as a motivating factor was a crafty choice. The collar and nametag was also a nice touch.
Honestly, I wish you would write more.
