Wow these 100 word drabble things are really catching!!!

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Mary-Lou sat rocking in her chair, just listening to the precise sounds of the clock in the corner.
Years had flown by and now it seemed to be never-ending as she sat staring.
Tick, tick, tick, went the clock.
A slight smile crept to the corners of her mouth as she reflected back over the years of her long and healthy life, there had been good and bad like any other but she had struggled through the bad enjoyed the good.
Mary-Lou fell into a serene slumber and died peacefully as the clock stopped ticking.

Well done, Willow! 100 words is tricky, isn't it? I won't even bother asking if we will find out the details of her long life!!
