There's a death watch out there.
One for each of us.
It's just ticking away.
Counting down slowly.
Day by day,
Hour by hour,
Minute by minute,
Second by second.
One day the watch will stop.
It will freeze and time will stand still for exactly one moment.
Your heart will stop and that will be the end of the death watch.
