Clocks Like Horses

"Clocks Like Horses" may have been in my top 3 least favorite stories of the semester. It was very difficult at times to understand exactly what was occurring in the story. Essentially there is a man who travels to a town to have a watch which he has inherited, from an original seamen, repaired by one of the only watch repairmen left who knows how to repair the watch. I did think that it was kind of cool that the watch repairman had clocks that track all of the different times throughout the world. Then there seemed to be a discussion about the Turkish war and sailors shipping horses for sale. And the saddest part of the whole story was when the man tells of the horses who drowned once the ship sank! The end of the story was the most confusing for me when the man arrives to his bedroom and observes another man already in his room? Overall this story just confused me!
