I had turned them down before, but this time, I said yes. "I'll take the offer." "When can you arrive?" "In three days."

Every year, Callum Walker gave me exactly five hours of his personal time. A meal with me cost forty minutes. A trip to visit my parents together cost two hours. Even sex was on the clock, starting the second he kissed me. Callum was the youngest senior partner at an elite white-shoe law firm, and his private consulting rate was 8,000 dollars an hour. I'd always assumed he was simply meticulous about his time. Then, at the firm's annual gala, Mia Garfield, the young lawyer he'd mentored himself, asked with a laugh, "Callum, how much time does your wife have left this year?" Callum glanced at his phone. "Seventeen minutes." Everyone in the room laughed. Mia tilted her head up at him. "W

In our third year of marriage, Jillian Holt changed the name she had saved my number under. It wasn't "Dear" anymore. It was "7:00 pm to 7:30 pm". She said she set aside only half an hour a day for personal matters. If I messaged her a minute early, she wouldn't reply. If the text was even a minute late, she wouldn't reply either. Once, I had a fever of 102.2°F and was hooked up to an IV at the hospital. I called her seven times. At 7:00 pm, she called me back right on time. "You have 29 minutes left. Get to the point." I asked hoarsely if she could come pick me up. She glanced at her schedule. "29 minutes isn't enough for a round trip. Get a cab yourself." I had always thought she

Then, at 11:58, it logged the case as empty. Four minutes of nothing. Four minutes, exactly, when I'd been inside that chamber. I leaned back. The chair creaked. ‘That isn't an outage.’ Outages are messy. They show scraps of data on either side, half-written lines and errors. This was surgical, a clean cut with no frayed edges. Someone had gone into the record and lifted four minutes out of it as neatly as a man taking a card from a deck.

Stroke by trembling stroke, he signed his name. Callum took the agreement away. "I'll handle the rest." Then he turned to Julian. "To be honest, you never deserved Stella's love." Julian did not argue anymore. He no longer went mad either. He only hesitated before saying, "In the future, please take care of her." After Callum agreed, Julian hardened his heart and turned to leave, though he kept looking back at me. He laughed at himself, eyes red. "If I'd taken photos of you back then, maybe I'd be able to see you often now. Unfortunately..."

,asked Sam, wiping his tears with his bloody hands, smearing blood on his own face absent-mindedly. "Well...it is a time-accumulator",said Oliver, inhaling sharply."It- When given enough time-energy....a red button is beneath it. When you press the button after providing enough time-energy in it. It will give you a chance to go back in time, as far as you wanna go in the past, but you can fix only one mistake." Sam smiled and said,"That's the best birthday gift anyone has ever given me..." Oliver nodded and said,"Its paining a lot"

Good and not too late, I still have enough time to reach my next target. Check the time: 10:58 p.m. Good and not too late, I still have enough time to reach my next target.

Garett went over some of the briefings he had to close out for the week though he had time off. He had called into his boss, the lawyer who was a senior partner, and explained the situation and what he hoped to accomplish for the next week or so. Though it wasn’t an easy conversation to have, he knew that he wanted to get it over with and have the time ready to do whatever needed to be done.

“You know I like you so much, Kezziah.” Alden steps up, close to the barrier, but not close enough to step over the threshold. “You can cut the act now, you know. You’re not getting out of here.” Time doesn’t react to Alden in the slightest. “Now, I get this was a fun little project between you all, but I have things to do, and if you don’t let me go now, bad things will happen to everyone you know,” Time says, to which Thought laughs aloud. Time growls under this breath. “And you brother. Petty aren’t you, using other people just to get revenge on me.”

I wasn't as surprised as Steph when she broke the news of her engagement with Daniel to us a few weeks ago, I'm just concerned about his safety because Lisa is quite the impatient one and no guy I know of has been able to withstand her craziness. "He said 9pm but he is currently ten minutes late" she replied checking her phone again. "He is just ten minutes late not an hour, calm your tits ma'am" I chided her playfully and that earned me a vicious glare. My phone vibrated softly and I peered at it to see a message from Mr Hyde. Mr Hyde: where are you? Me: with friends. Mr Hyde: who? Me: my friends Our banter went on for about a minute and I was smiling widely oblivious of the glare Lisa was
