Story time:

As she walked through the old house, Sarah heard a #zap-ping sound coming from upstairs. She paused, wondering what could be making the noise. Slowly, she climbed the creaky staircase and followed the #zap-ping to a closed door.

With a deep breath, she reached out and #zap-ped the door gently. No response. She #zap-ped again, a bit harder this time. Still nothing.

Frustrated, Sarah reached for the doorknob, but it wouldn't budge. She #zap-ped it with her hand, trying to jiggle it loose. Suddenly, the door swung open, and Sarah stumbled forward.

In the center of the room stood an old grandfather clock, its pendulum swinging back and forth with a steady #zap-ping sound. Sarah smiled in relief, realizing the #zap-ping noise had been nothing more than the clock ticking.

She approached the clock and studied its intricate design. With a curious glance, she reached out and tapped the glass covering the clock's face. The sound echoed through the room, and Sarah couldn't help but #zap it again, listening to the rhythmical tapping of the clock as it ticked away the seconds.

With a sigh, Sarah turned to leave the room, her curiosity satisfied. But as she reached for the door, she heard a soft #zap-ping sound behind her. She turned back to the clock, wondering if she had imagined it. Then she saw it: the clock's pendulum was #zap-ping against the wood casing, a gentle reminder of the passing of time.
