The Town Clock Ran Backward Every Time Someone in Town Lied

Strange short story: a town clock runs backward every time someone lies, and only the town clerk can tell the town why. In the small town of Cedar Flats, the clock tower runs backward every time someone lies, until the whole town is living the same Friday again.
