The Clock
In the story 'The Clock,' Rosie and her friend Avi's fathers go to a yard sale at a haunted house where they find a wooden chest full of gold coins and a mysterious clock. Rosie's father warns her about the rules of the clock: never wish to have something to do in front of it, never touch it after dark, and never turn its hands. Curiosity gets the better of Rosie, and she breaks all three rules, resulting in her being trapped in a time loop. She discovers that her father had been stuck in the same loop since he was her age. Together, they make a plan to break the cycle and return home. By reversing the clock's hands, they free themselves and Rosie returns home on her birthday.
