Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there lived a young girl named Alice. Alice was a curious girl who loved to explore and discover new things. One day, while walking in the woods, Alice stumbled upon a strange looking object that caught her attention.

As she picked it up, she realized that it was a pocket watch that had been left behind by someone. Alice had never seen a pocket watch before, and she was fascinated by it. As she examined it, she noticed that the watch was ticking backwards, and she couldn't help but wonder why.

She wound the watch since she couldn't help but wind her watch out of curiosity. She felt as though time was slowing down as she was doing it, which was an odd sensation. Alice was astounded to view the world around her in an entirely new perspective as everything around her abruptly slowed down.

Looking around, she noticed that the trees were moving slowly and that the birds in the sky had stopped in midflight. Alice was the only one who could move, and everything else was in a state of suspended animation.

Alice felt an incredible sense of power and freedom. She could move about the world as she pleased without anyone to stop her. She explored the woods, walked through the river, and even climbed up trees.

Days passed, and Alice continued to wander the frozen world. She soon realized that she could manipulate time by turning the watch's hands backward or forward. When she turned the hands forward, time resumed its normal pace, and everything around her began to move at the speed of normal time. But when she turned the hands backward, everything slowed down once again.

As Alice fiddled with the watch, she soon realised that by winding it backward or forward, she could go through time. She could go through time by winding the watch backward, and forward would take her into the future.

After making this exciting discovery, Alice started researching other historical eras and times. She travelled to the Renaissance, the Middle Ages, and even the Future.

Alice gained a lot of knowledge about the planet and its past throughout her journey through time. She made friends with well-known individuals, saw noteworthy occasions, and got to see things that nobody else had.

But as time passed, Alice began to feel a sense of loneliness. She missed her family and friends and longed to be back in the present day. She realized that although time travel was fascinating, it was not a substitute for the love and companionship of those around her.

Finally, Alice decided to return to the present day. She wound the watch forward until the ticking of the watch returned to its normal pace. Suddenly, everything around her began to move at a regular speed, and she was back in the present day.

As Alice made her way back to her home, she realized that she had been gone for weeks, but in reality, only a few hours had passed. She was glad to be back in the present day, and she hugged her family tightly, grateful for their love and companionship.

From that day on, Alice kept the pocket watch as a reminder of her time travels. She never forgot the incredible experiences she had, but she also never forgot the importance of being present in the moment and cherishing the people she loved.

This moment she realised that time is the most complicated and dangerous thing in the world and it is preciousness and necessity.
