You can't lie
I narrowed my eyes at a brown clock on the table as we made our way outside.
"What's this?" I stopped to pick it up.
"That's just my time run." He said, receiving the rusty looking clock from me. "Don't touch it, it could be dangerous."
"Dangerous, how?" I resumed walking while he led the way.
"You see, for three years now, I've been working on a time machine, but that's never happened. No success at all." He began.
"Okay?" I raised a questioning eyebrow at him.
"But I managed to come up with the time run. It's a reverse clock that takes you to twelve noon the day you use it." He explained even though I was unable to comprehend.
