The Clockwork Inheritance

“Every citizen is born with a mechanical watch that counts down to their greatest mistake. Yours just hit zero, but nothing happened. Or so you thought.”

We are looking for a plot that blends mystery with a touch of "low-tech" sci-fi. Focus on the emotional weight of a legacy that might be a curse rather than a gift.

The Zero Hour Silence
