When a clock stops ticking, a home can grow very quiet.
Mrs. Adebayo's old clock has always filled Apartment 4B with a steady, comforting sound. But one day, it stops. The silence feels heavier than ever.
Eli is known for fixing broken things. But when he opens the clock and looks inside, he discovers something surprising - nothing is broken at all.
