The Soft Clocks Declare War on the Square Alarm Clocks!

In the hollow of the luminous night, a battle of time has triggered a dreamlike upheaval.

The hour is extraordinary. Soft clocks, direct descendants of the master of surrealism Salvador Dali, have decided to declare war on their long-time enemies, the square alarm clocks. Expressing their disgust for the rigidity of the latter, the soft clocks have begun to spread chaos in the kingdom of Chronos.

“We no longer tolerate the tyranny of square seconds,” declares a melancholic clock that, after devouring its twelfth hour, refuses to vomit the thirteenth. The stopwatch, remaining continually fixed at midnight, expresses its solidarity with the clocks: “I am tired of always being exact. I dream of inclined hours, spiral minutes, and looped seconds.”

Both shocked and indignant, the square watches, their hearts beating in unison with their incessant tick-tock, defend themselves vehemently. “We are the guardians of time, and we will not allow these unregulated clocks to sabotage the orderly unfolding of daily life,” responds a square alarm clock with a chain, its dial glowing with indomitable determination.

A rumor is also circulating about the intervention of the Sandman, who allegedly came to the rescue of the soft clocks by putting the square alarm clocks to sleep with his golden sand. “Time does not exist in dreams, only surrealism and absurdity have their place,” he is said to have whispered into the ear of the large clock in the village square, triggering a wave of approving murmurs among the soft clocks.

The war of time is just beginning, and it is difficult to predict whether the soft clock or the square alarm clock will eventually gain control of the kingdom of Chronos. One thing is certain: time, as we know it, will never be the same again.
