An old clock tower, known to them as the Beginning Clock, ticked counterclockwise, and with every tock, yesterday became tomorrow. Emmeline stood in front of her house, watching the events of the future unwind. She saw the sun set in the east, birds flying backward in formation, and streams flowing uphill. Every evening, memories of tomorrow filled her head, and by morning, they became faint dreams. One particular evening, as the townspeople bid their morning greetings, a young man named Aiden approached her. They would meet for the first time the day after, yet they'd have a lifetime of shared memories. "Remember when we'll climb the hilltop next week?" he asked. Emmeline chuckled. "Oh, the view we'll see from there will be so breathtaking." The town had a peculiar custom. Before anyone was born, there was a farewell ceremony. Parents would gather, sharing memories of their children's lifetime, celebrating the joys and learning from the mistakes. A life, once completed in the forward world, would then start anew in their town. Aiden and Emmeline approached their birth ceremony hand in hand. Their families, tears in their eyes, recounted tales of their shared lives. The love they would feel, the challenges they would overcome, and the life they would lead together. They heard of their children, their grandchildren, and their adventures. But there was one mystery neither could fathom. Beyond the Beginning Clock, there was said to be a door. No one in the town knew where it led because once you walked through it, you ceased to have been. Legend had it that it was the entrance to a world where everything happened forwards – a world of unpredictable tomorrows and lost yesterdays. On the eve of their birth, Aiden turned to Emmeline, "Do you ever wonder what's behind that door?" Emmeline nodded, "Every day. But maybe it's a story for another life." As their ceremony ended, they lay down, younger than before. The memories of their life started to wane, dreams of the future dimmed, and as they closed their eyes for one final time, it was not in death but in anticipation. For in this world, it wasn't an end but merely... The Beginning. > [!seealso] Related Thoughts > > Related thoughts will appear here when available.
