Flash fiction AI can't imitate.

There exists a broken clock in a broken house, it doesn’t tick and it doesn’t tock. It’s pendulum attempts to swing above a ragged floor — uneven and marred by patches of mold and hoary footprints.

The wind blows through the jagged edges of long-shattered windows, then caresses the barely-hinged remnant of a door — causing it to slam against its former self.

The cuckoo bird bursts forward, it screams.
