A non-sewing post :Vansurian time battle

I have had this idea for a story for a while now, and because I no longer have the luxury to sit back play some music and write, it has been on hold (as my other story ideas) for almost a year now. However, The characters are revolting and demanding their release. They have invaded my dreams, and day time thoughts. They have few demands, actually only one, for me to write it all down.

The story is about a boy who has no motivation or desire to do anything but day dream, and as the summer approaches his day dreams seem to become more life like. At the end of the school year he is sent by his parents to visit his grandparents in a very quiet, very small town where the only exciting thing there is his grandparents antique shop. To earn some money he repairs some of the broken things in the shop, and one day he finds a very strange looking clock. He confesses to his grandfather how he has realized he enjoys to invent and create things and consequently his grandfather gives him an antique journal to write down all his creations and dreams. However, the journal is not empty. When the sun hits the pages the boy can see it is full of writings and images. One of the pages he realizes is a detailed description of how to fix the clock.

With the clock fixed he once again starts to have vivid dreams of him swimming in the ocean and being pulled down by an invisible force, only for them to turn into reality. He is transported to another dimension that was frozen in time when the strange clock stopped working and wants possession of the clock in order to continue to exist. The boy now has to fight to save his world and time itself.

I would love to hear what you think of the story, and thank you for reading this whole post
