When this photo of a Madison, North Carolina clock tower was taken, the actual time was 1:58, not the 12:11 displayed. As constant investigators of temporal anomalies, when we encountered this shot by photographer Whe-renot, we immediately diagnosed the source of the disturbance: the bricked up "lost windows." That's because "Time stops in a cell without windows” (Olen Steinhauer, The Confession, 2010). Speaking of lost windows, consider this: “It’s nice to have a window, even if it’s bricked. I like the idea of a bricked window, because it engenders no delusion of being helped. That’s the hardest thing to accept, that no one’s going to turn the light on, and if you need the light on now, you’ve misunderstood how to see in the dark” (Brandon Keith Nobles).
