RXC Challenge 393

She kept the clock running backward, just to see which regrets would return first. It was an annual event, curse, helpful advice, could be either/or, determined by how she reacted. Suddenly the night before, on New Year’s Eve, and the clock was still running correctly forward, she saw the image of herself. Standing on the edge of the bridge, teetering on the railing, her mind full of regrets. Deciding to jump or not, she chose not. Promising herself that the next day, start of the new year, she would watch the clock and renew faith in herself. Curling up on her sofa, the clock spun the regret visions as she vowed to change. Her disposition would now be to throw the clock when it was finished, and never use such a device again. A bright more caring and knowledgeable future ahead.
