The Clock in Room 12

The clock in Room 12 does not always agree with the present. Sometimes its hands move backwards, and when they do, the harbour outside slips quietly into another year. What begins as a curiosity—a young man in a wool coat, a letter clutched like a secret—becomes a meeting across time, brief as the swing of a pendulum. 

The Steps at Millford Cutting

There are certain places where time grows thin.

You've felt them, perhaps without knowing what they were—that moment on an empty stairwell when the air seems to thicken, or standing in a garden where the light falls strangely, as if filtered through older glass.
