Year 0: The Clock That Shouldn’t Exist

Deep within an abandoned Alaskan weather station, a digital clock was discovered still running despite no power supply and no data link. Stranger still, the date it displays is not from our world: September 2nd, Year 0.Julian Ward, a climatologist stationed nearby, found the clock during routine survey work. He claimed the device resisted tampering—no wires, no circuit panel, and no way to shut it off. An inscription on the steel housing read: “Do not interrupt the cycle. If it stops, everything resets.”
