But in a 24-hour day, the 25th hour is also the impossible hour, an hour that doesn't exist, that can only be created by the imagination.

If you can imagine a thing,
then it has already existed,
somewhere, somewhen, somehow.

'The 25th Hour' came out of the decision - a really very conscious decision - that I needed a story set within a compressed time frame because that would help focus the story.

It's almost impossible to get east-west in the afternoon rush hour unless you have an hour or two to spare,

You exist only by the imagination of God.

I begin by imagining
The impossible
And end by accomplishing
The impossible.
