Broken Timepiece

Write about a character who discovers an old, broken watch—a memento from a lost love.

This prompt invites you to dive deep into the emotions of longing, lost opportunities, and stagnant time. Did this watch belong to a loved one or was it a cherished gift? Why it is broken and why has it been kept? The narrative could evolve around memories associated with the timepiece or the effects of clinging to the past rather than moving forward.
