The Man Inside the Clock: The Silence of the Second Hand

A Spiralverse™ Tale by Heileny Suárez

Format: Illustrated Poetic Book
Language: English
Age: 9+ to Adult

A Poetic Meditation on Time, Silence, and Presence

A lyrical illustrated story where speed becomes a prison,
silence becomes a teacher,
and time reveals its true nature only when it stops.

The Stillness Within the Mechanism

What if time was never meant to be chased?

What if the race itself
was the illusion?

What if stopping
was not failure,
but awakening?

The Story:

The Man Inside the Clock tells the story of a man who lives inside a nineteenth-century Swiss clock,
surrounded by gears, pendulums, and ticking seconds.

He runs constantly,
winding, polishing, repairing,
believing that if he keeps the clock perfect,
his life will be complete.

But one day,
the clock stops.

And in the silence of the second hand,
everything changes.

From Noise to Awareness

As the ticking fades, the man is forced to listen,
not to the machine,
but to himself.

Through stillness, reflection, and gentle repair,
he learns that time is not an enemy to outrun,
but a rhythm to breathe with.

This is not a story about fixing time.
It is a story about inhabiting it.

This Is Not a Story About Timekeeping

It is a story about:

• living on autopilot
• measuring life by productivity
• mistaking speed for purpose

And the quiet liberation that comes
when we finally allow ourselves to pause.
