The Clock Tower
The clock tower, situated in the center of the town square, afforded views of the entire valley. No shadow could hide from its rapacious stare.
Townspeople went about their business quietly, all eyes on the ground, hoping to avoid unwanted attention.
Rebecca and Victor met in the churchyard green. They'd yearned for each other since youth, but had never managed to share even kiss. Now might be that moment.
Time stopped. The entire town froze.
When the clock resumed, Rebecca and Victor, despite being certifiably sober, returned to their homes after once again awakening from a stupor under mysterious circumstance.
