Yet another Drabble!

Title: Memories.

Prompt: Pocket watch

It didn’t seem right.
Going through things that had meaning once upon a time, and held a million memories. Ideas, thoughts, and feelings, that *he* had felt.
The pocket watch felt strong in his hand. The time ticking away as it had done since the day it’d been bought.
Like an egg timer counting down the days to death. A morbid view but true.
“Ray?”
“What?”
“Look at this. It’s his watch. Wonder how long he had it. Wonder what memories it holds.”
A single glance.
“You always were his blue eyed boy.”
“I know. I’ll miss Cowley.”
“I know.”

You know for a death drabble this is beautifully done. It's sad, and yet you have taken the focus not only off of our lovely dear Cow, but placed it on the watch and the passage of time, it also focuses on the sadness of those left behind. I love it. Thank you! ((hugs))
