12:01 No.M.

In a moment of lost time, a sliver of light can exist, and just as easily not exist. The time is lost, and therefore the inhabitants of that time are lost as well.

.. ..

It may be similar to an alarm clock created upon a conveyor belt, and thereafter never once wound and placed aside a bed. Instead it is thrown inside a storage unit, to slide by our passages of time, and it holds a time of its own: a distilled and endless moment it knows as 12:00.

.. ..

While many a folk would regard the idea of a clock frozen in time ludicrous, I think it far from untrue. Is the clock not capable of ticking an accurate measurement of time? Or is the clock too similar to a tree falling in the woods without an ear to hear it crash to the ground?

.. ..

I’m not going to tell you the clock has feelings, nor that it doesn’t. I will say, that it had the drive to tell time and it just wasn’t given the chance…

.. ..

And if it has dreams, I would imagine they would be tick-tastic… and possibly start with 12:01.
