The Toll of Clockwork Tower
Life is like a clockwork. A cog may run for years, decades, without any need to be replaced. But, in the end, it will be worn out, and a replacement will be needed.
My name is Clockwork.
If you told me a week ago that I would get back to the life I had lived five years ago, I would laugh in your face. I had left that life behind me for honest work, and it was nothing I ever wanted to relive. Not after how it ended.
Funny how things change.
As late as this morning, I was the apprentice to the greatest clockmaker in Equestrian history. Pendulum, the designer of Canterlot’s Clock Tower.
Now, my life is upside down, and the only thing I know for certain is to keep the envelope close.
