i don't remember what all i said, but i liked the story! nice title with the multiple meanings, which i'm always a sucker for. i got kinda misty-eyed at the larger view of things we get when the nurse takes over keeping the watch. thanks for sharing this, and for giving us the context about writing it too. i could see the twilight zoniness of it, but i appreciated the fact that you didn't go the route of someone wicked or greedy getting their ironic comeuppance. (haha, that's a good word for literotica ... maybe i'll write a story about a comeuppance!)
I seldom comment on stories but this was very good, well put togather. Hope you have more like this.
I loved this story - you have real talent, and I hope you'll share it with us again soon.
It was very interesting and definitely had the feel of The Twilight Zone. I'm pretty sure I would have thought that even if you hadn't mentioned it in advance. More explanation on the background of the watch, how it works, and why it needs a physical manifestation at all would have been welcome. Did/does he keeper get to communicate with the watch? It apparently communicates with him at least on occasion. It is a very nice short story and I enjoyed reading it. Good job!
If you had been doing more than audited that class, you should have received a very high passing grade. Well done and well written. I even thought I heard Rod Serling saying well done, lol.
