    If you happen to find yourself in the station on one those rare nights when it's not filled with activity and people bustling about, take a moment to stop and listen.

    Then and only then, if it's quiet enough and you listen closely you might hear a gentle sobbing sound, echoing off the walls.

    Know that Vernon will be up there, in the tower, toiling away. Greasing and lubing the clockwork to keep it's cogs and gears moving. But no amount of oil or lubricant can mend Vernon's heart, heavy with eternal sadness.

    On that day, perhaps in the not too distant future when that great clock stops keeping time and ceases to function poor 'ol Vernon's heart will finally give out. And then, in the dimly lit clocktower, with his dying breath he'll whisper, "Sodarella..."

    I don't know, I like the "SODARELLA" one right on the overhead beams above the camera.

    That is a pretty incredible story about Vernon.

    Vernon's story must be told. This may actually work as an opera or Disney movie.
