Phoenix π¦βπ₯ - Restoring the Hourglass - π Buddy Story ; part 74
The avenue led me through the door of a quiet curiosities boutique, where dust floated in the slanted afternoon glare. Upon an open oak pedestal, a miniature brass hourglass rested tipped on its curved hip against a heavy iron skeleton key. The red garnet sand inside had stalled, trapped unevenly in the upper bulb. Stepping onto the polished wood, I anchored my boots and grasped the fluted brass columns with both hands. With slow, measured leverage, I lifted the frame upright into its velvet-lined groove. The fine crimson grains immediately slipped through the narrow waist, falling in a steady, unbroken trickle of restored time.
