Timekeeper

He   had   been   given   the   watch   on   his   tenth   birthday .   It   was   an   ordinary   gray   plastic   wristwatch   in   every   respect   except   for   the   fact   that   it   was   counting   down .

“ That   is   all   of   the   time   you   have   left   in   the   world ,   son .   Use   it   wisely .”   And   indeed   he   did .

As   the   watch   ticked   away ,   the   boy ,   now   a   man ,   lived   life   to   the   fullest .   He   climbed   mountains   and   swam   oceans .   He   talked   and   laughed   and   lived   and   loved .   The   man   was   never   afraid ,   for   he   knew   exactly   how   much   time   he   had   left .

Eventually ,   the   watch   began   its   final   countdown .   The   old   man   stood   looking   over   everything   he   had   done ,   everything   he   had   built .

5   He   shook   hands   with   his   old   business   partner ,   the   man   who   had   long   been   his   friend   and   confidant .

4   His   dog   came   and   licked   his   hand ,   earning   a   pat   on   the   head   for   its   companionship .

3   He   hugged   his   son ,   knowing   that   he   had   been   a   good   father .

2   He   kissed   his   wife   on   the   forehead   one   last   time .

1   The   old   man   smiled   and   closed   his   eyes .

Then, nothing happened. The watch beeped once and turned off. The man stood standing there, very much alive. You would think that in that moment he would have been overjoyed. Instead, for the first time in his life, the man was scared.
