The Clockmaker
The clockmaker died. As he was being positioned in the coffin, a spring bounced out of his forehead leaving all the mourners in shock. For quite some days after the burial, an imperceptible ticking could be heard underneath the tombstone of the marble grave. It is said that during that period time stopped for a few seconds within some kilometres radius. This explains why we, dwellers of this area, are a few minutes younger than all our peers.
