In this chapter of The Clockmaker’s Rewind, the clockmaker shows Lira the antique clock’s secret for the first time. The key turns. The air changes. A hammer falls, a dent stays. And Lira sees it with him—proof that time isn’t a clean slate.
She doesn’t flinch. Instead, she leans in close and says, “Show me.”
The first breath of shared wonder. The first edge of doubt. A small thing, a dent in the wood—but it’s enough to change everything.
A Dent in Time is live.
