My idea for this clock is Norse mythology, based on the coming of ragnerock and the ticking down of time till it comes. The characters are Fennrier, Skoll, and Heti, three wolves. And dwarves and gods as the plotters. The story is ironic because the only reason that the feared prophesy came true is because they acted on it. The tricked Fennrier and tied him up, and he gave his being to the gods and they betraied him in fear of how big he became. He had become close to as big as mountains. So now his chidren chase the sun and the moon trying to eat them. And when they do the magic ropes will lose their power and Fennrier will become free and eat Odin. That is the start of ragnerock.
