him the man was wearing an old-fashioned suit and in his hand was a shiny gold pocket watch excuse me the man said his voice calm but strong do you have a moment to spare Victor frowned I'm waiting for my bus he replied I don't really have time the man gave a small smile oh I think you have plenty of time you just don't know how to use it Victor was annoyed what's that supposed to mean without answering the man held out his pocket watch for Victor to see but this was no ordinary watch instead of

numbers on its face there were words work dream wait love regret the hand on the watch was moving slowly between the words as Victor looked it landed Ed on wait and then ticked over to regret what is this Victor asked staring at the strange watch this the man said is your life Victor laughed that's impossible you're joking the man shook his head no joke this watch shows how you spend your time look closely Victor kept his eyes on the watch the hand moved again stopping on dream for a moment before going back to wait and
