Chapter 11.

The hands of the clock.

Julie had managed to go through the entire slide successfully, almost all the traps were on the sides and there was one at the end that was not only on the sides but also at the bottom, which made her hunch back and see the blades pass through the blood brushing her abdomen and feel how the blades above her cut some strands of her hair and then she reached the end of the slide, that was all, but the end was an open door to an unknown room, and when she went through it, she heard how someone also opened a door to one of the sides, so her gaze went to the place realizing that she was on the hands of the clock that was in the tallest tower in the city…

If she jumped she would die from the impact on the asphalt and if she stepped wrong the same would happen because the hands were so thin that they barely allowed her to stay stuck to the wall with her arms stretched out to the sides to keep her balance, and so she noticed how the person on the other side of the hand was not her sister, it was a child no older 10 years old and it was clear that he was scared and didn't know what to do, so she tried to comfort him by saying: don't move from there and don't look down look at me, but the boy told her: I just sewed that man's abdomen using my teeth, the wound was very ugly, I want to go back to mom so she told me: don't remember that moment, remember the happy times with mom, forget about that man, you'll see how we're going to get out of here and your mom will be proud of how brave her little son is, but don't look down, then the voice sounded from the center of the clock telling them that they had to get to the other one before the hands lost control at 3…

Afterwards she didn't say anything else… And then she, looking around where she was standing, realized that the clock marked 2:59 they had one minute to get to the other one, but the boy didn't move, so she started to slide towards where he was, and before she could get there, the hand where She was standing and went down in one fell swoop, marking the number 6…

The scream she let out scared the boy who closed his eyes so as not to see the tragedy, but the woman was hugging the handle, she didn't want to fall and end up like this man's mashed potatoes in the morning, so before the handle lost control again, she began to climb up this handle until she reached the center, but the moment she wanted to go over to the handle where the boy was, it began to lean threatening to fall in a nosedive, so the boy told her: Don't do it, I'm scared, I don't want to die, and immediately she told him: then crawl towards me, bend down, hug the handle and crawl over here, come on, I know you can do it, don't you want to, just crawl and your mom will be proud of you…

The boy began to pay attention to her, he bent down, hugged the handle and began to crawl towards it, but in a moment of weakness he looked down and a huge sensation Dizziness came over him and made his hands want to break free. She realized this and told him: Close your eyes, just follow my voice, I will guide you…
