A regular noticed it first—a small wooden box with an old-fashioned keyhole. Curious, he took out his pocketknife and carefully pried off the lid. Inside was just an old watch, its hands frozen mid-tick. The regular laughed, thinking maybe it belonged to the delivery guy who’d forgotten it. He wound it up, put it back, and drove home—only to discover that very evening, the watch had started working again, ticking away the exact time since it was buried underground.
