"Every day, at five o'clock, Father Time breaks from his never-ending work in the Great Clock Tower. He finds a good book, lowers himself into his easy chair and proceeds to take a nap. At six o'clock, Edmund the Rabbit wakes him from his nap, and Father Time gets on with the business of past, present, and future. This has been the routine, since time immemorial; like clockwork.

"But today was different. Something extraordinary had happened - the unthinkable. At 5:37, as Father Time slept blissfully unaware, The Perpetual Absolute Standard Time (P.A.S.T.) clock came squealing and groaning to a halt.

"Only one thing could cause this - a breach of the temporal flux, an intruder, a time traveler. But how... and where?" (from book by Morrissey).
