25min Timer Novels & Stories

Her tense silence unnerved Emmeline a bit. "Don't forget, I'm one of those who agreed to play too! You can't curse me while sacrificing yourself for my honor. It'll make your efforts meaningless." Minnie's cheery voice rang. Taehyung stopped moving. "Isn't the damn five minutes over yet??" he cried out loudly. Richard checked his phone again with a wicked grin. "Not quite." Just as Emmeline glanced at the time on his screen, the last digit ticked over. She wasted no time announcing it. "It just ended!"

"A hundred?" "Yes, a hundred, now. If you waver before you get to a hundred, you start all over, you have twenty minutes." "Twenty minutes?" I wanted to be sure I heard him right. "Yes, twenty, minutes but you can go faster if you want to." He replied. Go faster? That 'twenty minutes?' I had asked to confirm if he didn't mean thirty minutes. I couldn't do a hundred in twenty minutes. "Your time starts now," The commander informed me so I dropped to the ground to do some pushups. Resting on just my toes and hands, I started to push myself up as I counted.

Tear-streaked, beautiful, clinging to Aaron like a lost lamb. And Jamie? A footnote. A blurry side photo in the corner of the article. Her jaw clenched. Her fingers tightened around her phone. Instead of dialing, she tapped quickly through the settings, her thumbs flying across the screen. Alarm. Timer. Three minutes. She turned the sound all the way up. Just long enough for everyone to relax again—long enough to feel safe before the storm hit once more. A wicked grin played at her lips as she looked down at the phone’s screen: 02:59… 02:58… 02:57…

The man continued typing something on the screen, his fingers deftly working over the keyboard. After a few seconds, he lifted his head again. “It’s all yours, sir. The moment you feed in the password and your fingerprints; the system will unlock for 59 seconds. That’s all the time we have before it shuts down again.” Josh sighed, feeling anxious. Do you think it’s enough time?”

“A timer! It records how long you’ve been with me.” It was no ordinary timer, for it came with a special sensor. Its counterpart on Jay was in a diamond wristwatch. The closer the timer to Jay, the faster the hand ticked by. The further she was from him, the slower time would pass. Having found out its mechanics, Rose stared despondently at him. “So, what’s the effective distance for the timer to work?” “50!” Jay exclaimed. Rose was displeased. “50 meters? Isn’t that too short?”

His mouth agape, thinking if he can still save both of them and the building. He looked at the instructions again before groaning and taking a wire out and it didn't trigger anything. Either way, if he accidentally pulls anything to trigger it, they're done for anyway since they only have thirteen minutes. He looked at it again before holding a white wire. "I-it might be this one, look," Angelica suggested before pointing at the paper and the blue wire near the timer. His eyebrows furrowed but he tried and it worked. That was the right one.

I whispered. The timer hit 00:45.

I set the timer on my watch. The look on Julia's face got more determined. I could see what she was thinking. Five minutes; it's only five minutes. Surely I can hold out for five more minutes. Lisa stopped flexing her hips towards Rose's mouth. Five more minutes; that all she had to hold out. Rose stopped pushing back against my cock, though her tongue looked as busy as ever. Julia's steely eyed determination grew more and more desperate as the seconds ticked off. Two minutes was all it took.

He held out the key. “This opens a small service door near the old incinerator. That’ll get you to the outside wall. The gate itself it’s on a timer lock most nights. It opens for precisely five minutes between 4:55 and 5:00 AM.” He stressed the time, his eyes serious. “Precisely five minutes. You miss it, you’re locked out. Or locked in. Depending on where you are.” He didn’t say how he knew the precise timing, didn’t explain the ‘escape hunch’ Misa had mentioned, he didn’t need to.

Blake cooed. The younger boy rolled his eyes but it was true that he did have a liking for Blake compared to some of the other guys. He was his teammate after all. "Alright, I got the timer set for two minutes. You ready Blake?" Zane placed his phone in the middle. "Yeah, I can do this!". With pure determination, he widened his eyes to kept himself from blinking. "Let's get it!" With that, Zane hit the start button and the timer began to count down.
