Life of a Watch - Kensei Shimizu

My parent made me very gentle kindness man. When I was growing up, he taught me “Don’t stop the beat to live,” and I promised that. After 2 years, my family’s house was on fire, so we lost everything. Then my parents’ friend needed a worker who could follow him every hour and minute. In that time, I was the only person in my family who wasn’t old and unhealthy. Therefore, I got a job that could be forever, so I worked with him. That was such a wonderful time for me because he always relied on me. After 10 years, government people find his company blinds income & cheat tax. Therefore, they had to go bankrupt, and I was fired. Next owner wasn’t so kind because he usually forgot to take me to his working place. Finally, a thief came to his house and the thief stole me. Thief brought me to the market and tried to sell me. In the black market, I found such a beautiful lady in the next rack. Therefore, I tried to talk her, but some long big old man make noisy sound, and he shouted, “Ding, Dorn, Ding, Dorn” in every hour. After a month, therefore I tried to talk to with shame. After that she and I were became close friends. That was the most wonderful time of my life... Because if I asked, “Tick-tock, tick-tack?” Then she answered, “Tick-tick, tick-tack!” And wonderful time past easier. One day, she left here. It was so sad, so I started to move tacitly. After ten years, my heart stopped forever.
