Map of days

Richard can't stop thinking about the clock. He
lies in bed each night listening to its tick-tocking,
to the pendulum's heavy swing. Why does his
granddad open its old doors in secret and walk
into the darkness beyond?
One night, too inquisitive to sleep, Richard tiptoes
from his bed, opens the cherry wood door of the
grandfather clock, and steps inside.
There, in a strange, nebulous twilight, he sees the
face of the Earth, locked forever in a simulated
world, where green things seem to grow in the
semblance of trees and plants, from unreal soil.
In this quasi-world they sit together for many
nights, the face and the boy, talking quietly of
creation and the beginning of all things. Moved
by the face's ancient tale of mysterious, magnetic
love, Richard longs to release him. So one night he
secretly winds back the hands of the grandfather
clock, and changes time forever...
