You know, I used to collect watches, in another life. I sold all but one to try and fix my hands. I try not to think about that other life anymore, but clinically I'm aware that people should engage directly with their regrets rather than try to forget them. That the triumph of something new doesn't always coincide neatly with the death of something old.
As it turns out, I'm still a sucker for a good timepiece.
So's this me winning the Shot In The Dark prize? Damn I knew there had to be a story behind your hands, I just didn't peg this for the opening fwiw, my professional opinion? the way old things hang around to haunt us, they're never content to just stop at clinical or tidy I'll trade you the story of my past for the story of yours if you like

Thanks for the gift. I'll see you soon.
