You can decorate your rented apartment with these rusty clocks and cry over it, sis. Luck does not favor everyone!”
Distraught, Linda left for the city, taking the clocks with her. She never bothered to check them thoroughly until one day when she noticed an engraving on one of them.
“OPEN IT!” was etched in a beautiful cursive font on the metal. Curious, Linda opened the clock, and what she found inside would go on to change her life. “A note?” she exclaimed and picked a little scroll from the clock’s interior.
She unfolded it and sat back, stunned. “Never underestimate these rusty, old watches! They are 100-year-old classic timepieces that belonged to my grandfather.
And they are crafted from rare, exquisite metal! Each piece is worth $40,000, my dear!” began the note. Linda’s eyes filled with tears of joy as she read further.
“Everyone gets what they truly deserve, Linda! I’m glad you got only the best. With Love, Granny Marlene.”
Linda burst into tears as she held the vintage clocks close to her heart.
They still functioned, and she could hear them tick close to her heartbeat. It felt as though her granny had not gone anywhere. Linda chose not to disclose this to her brother.
“He is blinded by greed and thinks he got the best from grandma. Let him live with that assumption. Granny knew who deserved the best and I needn’t prove it to him!” she thought and kept the rare timepieces locked in her drawer.
