Clockwork or All Wound Up

<p><i>Tick tick tick tock.</i> Once you've wound some things up nothing can stop them . . .<br><br>It is a cold winter's night when Karl enters the White Horse Tavern looking like he's swallowed a thundercloud. His final task as a clockmaker apprentice is to make a new figure for the great clock of Glockenheim. He has not made the figure - or got any idea of what it could be and the unveiling is tomorrow.<br><br>Fritz is also in the tavern; there to read aloud his new spooky story. Like Karl he hasn't finished. Well he knows how the story starts and he knows it's called <i>Clockwork</i> - so with the snow swirling down outside he sets his story going and just has to hope that the ending will come to him as he tells it.<br><br>Suddenly Fritz's story and real life merge in a completely sinister way - and just like clockwork it can't be stopped . . .</p>
