Stickman vs the Clock

Make a 15-second looping animation, square 1080×1080.

A stickman lives inside the face of an analog alarm clock and fights against time. The red second hand is the villain.

Style: minimal black ink on cream paper, monoline stick figure and numbers, slight hand-drawn line wobble. The only color is red, reserved for time: the second hand, the alarm, the impacts.

Story: he's asleep on top of the 12 and dodges the second hand at the last moment. The clock speeds up, and on each lap he survives it a different way: he jumps, rides the hand like a rodeo bull, and ducks flat as it sweeps over him. Finally he pries the number 6 off the dial and jams the hand with it. Time stops, and he takes a nap… until the alarm goes off, every hand rewinds, and he ends up asleep on the 12 again, so it loops.

Sound: fully synthesized in code and synced to the action (ticks, hits, a metallic clank, alarm bells, rewind).
