His Silent Killer

Special things are to be cherished and protected. For Burton, this held a different sentiment. He had a treasure that was from the past, but it measured his future. It calculated his life through pain. The more pain he experienced, the more his treasure let him know he was closer to his mortality. He could not escape this faceless clock that kept track of his past, present, and future. That is until the hand hit the Omega.
Was this clock accurate? Could it really tell him when life was over? Will Burton be able to live without the pains of life overtaking him?
