Physics Lab Clock

A large analog clock mounted on the lab wall, its brass casing tarnished from years of exposure to experimental chemicals. The black Roman numerals contrast sharply with the cracked white face, its hands frozen at 3:17. The clock’s pendulum swings erratically when the alien book’s temporal distortions ripple through the room, its timekeeping failing as reality itself stutters.

Before: Showing a static time of approximately 3:17
After: Temporally disrupted, hands whipping erratically then stabilizing
