A greedy brother inherits a house and mocks his younger sister, who only gets five rusty old clocks from their late grandmother. Little did they know about what was hidden in those timepieces.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, so grandma called you as well?! I thought you\u2019d be busy in the library\u2026like a good little bookworm!\u201d 26-year-old Brian scoffed at his younger sister Linda, 19.<\/p>\n
She had just stepped down from the taxi. Fear filled her eyes as her heart told her: \u201cNothing will happen to grandma. She\u2019ll be fine. She\u2019ll live for a hundred years more.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brian and Linda had come to visit their 90-year-old granny Marlene. She had requested them to see her urgently.<\/p>\n
\u201cSweethearts, I wish to see you one last time. I might not get another chance again,\u201d Marlene had painfully told them on the call two days ago\u2026<\/p>\n
As Linda entered her grandma\u2019s bedroom, she coughed, noticing that it was pretty dusty. Marlene was too old and sick to do things on her own. She hadn\u2019t swept the floor, and Linda saw the ceiling was moldy due to leakage.<\/p>\n
Linda opened the clock, and what she found inside would go on to change her life.
\n\u201cGrandma!!\u201d she ran and hugged Marlene, who was in bed. \u201cNothing will happen to you, grandma.<\/p>\n
Until a year ago, Linda lived with Marlene. She took good care of her and helped her a lot. She was even ready to turn down a life-changing scholarship but moved to the city to pursue her degree upon Marlene\u2019s insistence.<\/p>\n
Brian entered the room, coughing and grinning. \u201cDamn\u2026I\u2019m allergic to dust! Grandma, didn\u2019t you sweep and dust your room?\u201d<\/p>\n
He came closer and saw his grandma was sick and skinny. But he was least bothered and stood there, waiting to know why she had called them.<\/p>\n
Marlene stared into Brian\u2019s eyes as she clasped Linda\u2019s shivering hands. The girl was pained to see her grandma so pale and her eyes lacking that once beautiful spark. They looked lifeless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
