Submitted by Lana Rose

Time keeps randomly stopping around you, and you think it is you who is doing it. Then one night you are at a party, and time stops. Everyone is frozen, except one person at the other end of the room...

Freeze and Unfreeze

I can freeze time. Sounds fake, I know.


But truly, I can. I just have not figured what has triggered it yet. Time stops at random time, random places. It seems I can never grasp the control of it nor the works of. I cannot stop time with my hands or my thoughts or through will. Nothing works. I even tried counting the days and hours until the next time-stop period and still, no pattern.


At leas...

“So it’s you?”

I stare at them, confusion and longing for the truth drowning me. Time stops - everybody seems to be frozen in place, like statues. My hands tremble as I reach for a nearby wall to keep me steady.

“What? What’s happening, you- you can’t be moving right now… this doesn’t make sense,” I say, exasperated. I slowly take a step forward, but their eyes drop to the floor and they seem to ...

Just A Second

The grand apartment is crowded, dark, and loud. I can’t hear my friend tell me she’s grabbing a drink, but I can see her make enough motions with her hands to take a guess. The bass of the music is loud enough for me to feel throughout my body.


As I join in to dance with a decent sized crowd, I decide to not think about the bizarre week and just let go. I jump and move with the rhythm, grateful ...

The Time Thief Pt 7

I wake, gasping for air. I can’t breath. My lungs have been clogged, and I’m in unbearable pain.

I grab Correolanus’s arm, shaking it wildly. He panics and runs for the stream.

I think all is lost, that this is the end. I won’t even die in a romantic way.

He lifts me and pours the water into my mouth. After a few moments, my breath comes back to me.

My chest is in unbearable pain as I wheeze, clin...

The Time Thief Pt 6

The fun had been completely taken away from doing whatever I wanted.

I had already: swum in the ocean, played with the animals, cooked whatever I wanted, played pranks on Correolanus with NO REACTION, and was now bored out of my mind.

I spent most of my time on the grass, staring at the mountains above, desperately wanting to climb them.

I wanted to do _something_. I had tried multiple times to e...

The Time Thief Pt 5

The world is spinning. I stupidly try to stand up, but my legs fail me and I nearly end up in the fire.

I cough and wheeze, my body shivering. I hear faint voices and barely feel someone pick up my now numb body.

When I can breathe again, I'm freezing. Correolanus is holding me in his arms. Relief washes over his face as he holds me close to him.

That’s when I realize we’re in the water. But I’m n...

The Time Thief Pt 4

The nightmares were terrible. I wasn’t used to having them, it was usually peaceful dreams all night.

Not this time.


I was floating through nothing, a ticking noise pounding against my brain.

I tried to close my eyes or plug my ears, but it got louder.

Then the whispering started.

Unaudible whispering.

Almost as loud as the ticking. And then louder. Louder. Louder.

Then I fell. I screamed as my r...

Frozen Moments

Mackie had always felt like she was on the outside looking in, a mere spectator in her own life. For as long as she could remember, time had this strange way of freezing around her, like a film reel that got stuck in the projector. The world would come to a halt—people caught mid-laugh, glasses frozen in mid-air—leaving her enveloped in an odd stillness. She’d chuckle at the absurdity of it all bu...

The Time Thief Pt 3

“Hello?”

Still nothing. I stomp the floor with my foot angrily.

“Oh come on!” I kick the grass.

Then I shiver.

It’s _freezing _out here.

“Correolanus aren’t you supposed to be here and give me your jacket or something cheezy like that?”

Again, no answer.

“Fine! I’m going back to the beach, and the fire, and the coldness knowing I was abandoned by some maniac guy who thinks he’s the lord of time!” ...
