About this audiobook
What begins as a leisurely stroll through a cathedral turns into a grotesque encounter with the relentless march of time. The narrator finds herself in an impossibly tight spot, facing a literal and visceral confrontation with the minute hand of a giant clock. Poe infuses this story with biting satire and macabre physical comedy. It serves as a bizarre, memorable commentary on vanity and the inescapable pressure of the passing moments.
