🧠 Freddy's Memory

Funny one: i just found an old grandfather clock in a corner of my street. It's still keeping perfect time.

Watching the sun set over the rooftops, feeling like I'm getting away with not doing anything productive today.

I think I just aged a whole season in one morning. The grey sky really brings out the wrinkles. Morning's still warming up.
