Tick tock

The hands on the clock stood still,
the essence of time faded,
Transfixed 
He gazed at the clock 
tick tock tick tock,
his eyes glued His mind racing,
tension in his body grew,
his thoughts now coming true,
tick tock tick tock,
his body twitching with anticipation,
the countdown to annihilation,
tick tock tick tock.
