The Clockmaker's Daughter and the Keeper of Unsent Dreams. AI-Generated.
Millie Button lived a life as predictable as the ticking of the grandfather clock in her hallway. Each morning, a crisp copy of the Abernathy Gazette landed on her doorstep at 7:13 am, followed by the rhythmic clatter of Mrs. Peabody's milk cart at 8:02 am. Tuesdays and Thursdays were for grocery deliveries, Wednesdays were for mending, and Fridays brought a single, fragrant rose from the florist. But on a blustery Tuesday, routine surrendered to the extraordinary.

In the little, languid town of Everwood, settled at the edge of an old woods, stood an old house known as Blackthorn Estate.

* GREG * Thank God this shit was almost over. I hated lying to Ted for my bosses. I felt like Sisyphus. Their demands changed every day, and I was caught in the middle of rolling that stone up the hill, then had to backtrack. If it weren’t for the regional manager promotion they were dangling in my face, I never would have agreed to this crap.
