The clock nobody watches keeps perfect time — until tonight, when it chimes thirteen. "The Clock That Chimed Thirteen" follows Tilda up the tower stairs, past the clockmaker's secret, to the question every wide-awake child asks: what does the thirteenth chime grant?

Wishes no bigger than buttons, and home before the dawn chime. Produced with AI assistance, and a human reviewed the script and audio before publishing.
