The Clock of Memories
READING AGE 12+
Victor, a solitary man marked by regrets, discovers an ancient clock capable of transporting him back to specific moments in his past. Driven by nostalgia and the desire to correct the mistakes that haunt him, he begins to revisit both precious and painful memories, attempting to mend what has been lost. Initially, these journeys into the past provide comfort and a sense of control, but he soon realizes that each alteration in his memories unpredictably changes the present—sometimes in subtle ways, other times in devastating fashion.
As the clock becomes both a blessing and a curse, Victor finds himself ensnared in a spiral of desperate attempts to restore his life. His relationship with his ex-wife, Clara, and their daughter, Ana, transforms as the past distorts, leading Victor to question what is real and whether the cost of trying to correct the past is worth the consequences.
In the end, Victor must confront the most difficult choice: to continue fighting against time and risk losing everything, or to accept the scars of the present and finally live in the now. The Clock of Memories is an exhilarating reflection on regrets, losses, and the impossibility of escaping what has already occurred, revealing that, as painful as it may be, the present is the only place where we can find peace.

Victor sat at the kitchen table, staring at the old clock before him. The weight of silence hung in the air, broken only by the soft sound of the wind outside. The clock, lifeless and still, seemed to hold all the answers, yet provided no comfort.
The last few days seemed like a blur. Or perhaps they were weeks? He couldn’t tell anymore……
