Oh my science, I think I've discovered the most comforting and relaxing sound in the world-- the sound of my pocketwatch, pressed to my ear, quietly and precisely ticking the seconds away.

ahhhhhhh, I'm so relaxed right now. From now on, whenever I get angry or otherwise stressed out, I'll just grab my pocketwatch.

In fact, I think I might search for a clock to buy- it would have to be grandfather-clock-sized, in order to get the right relaxing period, and it would also have to be fairly quiet for a clock that size, but not too quiet, and it would have to NOT ring on the hour.

Some people find running water relaxing; I have just discovered that the ticking of a clock does it for me.

Each second the clock ticks away is another second I don't have to endure any more. One step at a time, closer and closer to the sweet warm embrace of the end of it all.
