story of The Clock They Couldn't Leave art print:

They packed in a hurry, not because they wanted to, but because the landlord said the building was being sold and everybody had to go by Monday. The man kept lifting the same battered trunks as if the weight might change if he tried again, while the woman knelt beside the big old clock, fingers searching for the small brass key they always misplaced. That clock had belonged to her father, and it never really kept the right time, but it kept the right sound, that steady tick that made even bad rooms feel like home. She swore they would take it, even if it meant leaving behind the good chair and half the dishes. When she finally wound it, the hands jumped forward like they were eager to escape too, and for a second they both paused, listening, as if the clock was counting not minutes but all the chances they still had left.
