A/N: For P100 prompt 826: Tick, Tock. Set in my Cry Wolf verse and #13.

I was coming to the conclusion that the mammals were… somehow damaged. They were obsessed with time, something they had invented. I had no idea how they managed to accomplish anything when they’d traded their instincts for that mechanical taskmaster.

I was thankful my own people hadn’t felt the need. The sun rose and set, work was completed, without the need to divide the day into arbitrary units or invent a tickling monstrosity to record it.

I certainly had come despise the clock in my office, my instincts denied to that bloody ticking clock and the mammal’s enslavement to it.
