Ola Klimek, a thirteen-year-old girl fascinated by old objects, knew that Cicha Street hid secrets. She had lived here since she was born and had managed to get to know every crack in the pavement, every rotting fence. But it wasn't until today that she noticed the shop with the sign 'Clockmaker'. Probably because of the fog that had wrapped around the town like a spider web that morning. Entering the shop was like crossing the border of worlds. Inside, it smelled of dust and old wood, and clocks - tiny pocket clocks and huge standing ones - protruded from every corner. Behind the counter, like a smiling ghost, stood Mr Simon, a clockmaker with a grey moustache and eyes shining like glass. - You haven't been here yet," he said, running his finger over the dial of an old watch. - What are you looking for? Ola shrugged her shoulders. - Time, I guess - she bubbled uncertainly. The watchmaker unzipped the suede bag and handed her a small silver watch on a chain. The hands stood still, but Ola brought it to her ear and heard a quiet whisper. - If you want to know something, ask him,' Mr Simon whispered. Ola picked up the watch, looked at the dial and for a second the image of the shop began to blur. She heard the voices of children who were not here, and the clatter of unfamiliar footsteps. The watchmaker looked at her as if he already knew what was happening. Suddenly, a distinct sound came from inside the watch - as if the ticking had turned into a heartbeat. Through the open glass, she saw something inside that shouldn't have been there - a section of her room, and shadows moving around it. Ola opened her mouth to say something, but then the clock on the wall struck sixteen o'clock. All the hands in the shop began to spin frantically, and outside the window the time of day changed like slides. Ola squeezed her watch tighter, trying to understand if it was she who was moving time or if time was moving her.... Just at that moment, the shop door slammed shut on its own and a mysterious whisper pierced the air: "Are you ready for more?"
