00:00I got this clock from my uncle. I didn't know what to do with it, so I put it in my living room, and that's when things started getting weird.
00:06You see, this clock counts backward. At first I thought it was just some kind of a joke, but then I realized it was actually counting the minutes, hours, days, and even years.
00:16It was counting backwards. I tried to ignore it, but then strange things started to happen.
00:20At first it was just old photos of people I didn't know, but then it started to get weird.
00:24Photos of my parents, me as a kid, they all started disappearing.
00:27People would call me and ask, what day is it, or what year is it?
00:30They didn't know how to read the calendar. They would look at me like I was some kind of a wizard.
00:34I'd tell them the date, and they'd say, oh thanks, and hang up.
00:37Then I started noticing that family photos were disappearing from the walls.
00:40My wife and I were sitting on the couch watching TV one night, and I turned to her and said,
00:44Do you remember the day we met? She looked at me like I was crazy.
00:47I don't know what you're talking about, she said.
00:49The day we met, I repeated.
00:51Do you remember the cafe? The clock on the wall.
00:53She shook her head.
00:54No, she whispered.
00:55I'm sorry. It was then I knew that something was very wrong.
00:59The only thing I could think of was that clock.
01:01I grabbed my phone and started searching online.
01:03I wanted to buy another clock, put it next to the weird clock, see if it would somehow reset.
01:08But as I was searching online, I came across an article about a mysterious clock that counts backwards.
01:12And at the bottom of the page, there was a comment that said,
01:15It stops at the moment you were never born.
01:17I scoffed, I thought it was just some kind of a creepypasta.
01:20But then I remembered my uncle's last words to me.
01:22He said,
01:23Be careful with the clock.
01:24Whatever you do, don't let it count backwards.
01:27He never explained what he meant, but I think he knew more than he was letting on.
01:30I looked back at the clock.
01:32It was counting down the seconds until what?
01:34Until the world ended and time began again.
01:36I didn't know what to do.
01:37Should I try to stop it?
01:38But how?
01:39As I stared at the clock, it hit me.
01:41It wasn't just counting backwards.
01:42It was counting our lives backwards.
01:44Every tick of the clock was taking away a piece of our memories, our loved ones, our lives.
