The Midnight Tower

"Why is it always at midnight?

-Shrek

Prelude
I got the inspiration for this story after listening to: Asleep In Perfection, by Augie March (its a real sad song, just pefect material). Somehow it conjured up an image of a tower and... Well here you go. Enjoy

It was a dark sand stormy afternoon
Afternoon had come for the timeless town of Taradak. Situated in the Sytaroneus mountains, it was a blissful and peaceful town where everyone was always happy and carefree.

One thing that really set the town apart was the looming clock tower at the very end of it. Right up against the base of Sytareneus' highest peak. it rested under the constant shadow cast upon it. There was something strange about the tower. Maybe it was that it had never been see in full on sunlight. Maybe it was its dark composition or the fact that every night at midnight, there was always a strange, almost demonic noise that always emitted from the towering spires. The tower had always been there, so no one knew who to blame.

One thing was for certain though: It would not stay untouched and mysterious forever.
