When a clock is swept off a table to the floor, all that remains is stillness.
I really broke this alarm clock a few months back. I wasn't using it as an alarm clock, but as a table clock in my bedroom. One day after picking it up (to look at the time or something, I think I was sick at the time), I neglected to replace it properly in the corner of my dressing table. Why the corner? Because my dressing table has a mirror that opens out to reveal a shelf (what lousy design!), and only in that corner, I could open the shelf without pushing the clock off the table.
As mentioned, I didn't put it right back into the corner... and therefore the clock got smashed to the floor the next time I opened the shelf. :'(
I am really sad about it because I liked that clock a lot. I found another similar one, but it was the colourful type (there's a lot of those being sold all over the place). The only good thing to come out of this is that my table clock has a light again. (That button on the top right is supposed to turn on the light, but it has been broken for ages.)
By the way, you can see in the photo that the fluorescent bit even came off one of the clock hands. That was how hard it fell...and at least one of the hands is bent, which is probably one of the reasons it can't work any more!
Note: The scene in the photo is staged. But I do believe that the battery fell off at that time too!
