“Offshore account. Transaction code BR-7743-X. She said it would happen at three PM.” James raised an eyebrow but didn't comment. He just adjusted his monitoring parameters and sat back to wait. The minutes crawled by. Two fifty. Two fifty-five. I tried to focus on other work, on emails that needed responses and reports that needed reviewing, but my eyes kept drifting to the clock in the corner of my computer screen. At three PM exactly, nothing happened. I felt relief and disappointment at the same time. So she'd been wrong, lying or delusional after all.

No time for detours. Then the remarks. Short. Repeatable. Thirty seconds of soundbite. Enough to satisfy the board, the press, and the audience. Nothing that required memory, nothing that demanded effort she couldn’t give. Another ping. Marlowe. “Clock is running.” I didn’t need the reminder. I checked the time. Delay meant the window closed. The longer we waited, the deeper the story metastasized. Power slipping. Control eroding. I straightened my sleeves. Ran through sequences, fallback plans.

"It's waiting." Then, it happened. 4:01. The number changed. And then, it changed back. 4:00. Elion blinked. He rubbed his eyes. "Did you see that?" Elion asked, his voice trembling. "Yes," Cale said. "It went back. It went from 4:01 to 4:00." "A micro-loop," Cale explained, as if discussing the weather. "A stutter. The universe missed a beat." "Time doesn't miss a beat!" Elion shouted. "Time is linear! It goes forward!"

Ethan held him tighter. "No! You don't understand!" Adrian looked past Ethan, straight at Lena, his eyes wild. "If the system reaches zero, it won't reset the world!" Lena stared, her whole body trembling. "Then what will it reset?" she whispered. Adrian's voice dropped to a horrified whisper. "Time." The countdown continued, merciless. *00:10* Sarah stared at the screen, her voice small. "Can it... can it really do that? Reset time? Is that even possible?"

The man shook his head and said, “In the dead soldiers’ camp, no one is allowed to know the date and time. We cannot see the sunrise or sunset, but instead, it’s just lights on or lights off. Moreover, I have secretly calculated that our daily routine in the dead soldiers’ camp does not seem to follow twenty-four hours a day. They seem deliberately make a slight deviation in time every day. Today would be longer than yesterday, and yesterday would be longer compared to the day before yesterday. Over time, even if we knew the exact time when we set out on a mission, the records will be biased after a period of time.” Charlie asked him, “How did you calculate the deviation of time?” The man sa

He looked very handsome with his soldier's unform on, I couldn't help but smile shyly when he looked at me. "Sir are you going out?" Jake asked while standing up. "Have you forgotten the date today?" He asked seriously. "Oh silly me, when will you return?, Is it in the next six months?" Jake asked as I stood up confused. "Just go and start the car" he commanded coldly. Jake quickly left, Noah turned and faced me. "As for you, I expect you to learn some manners while I'm away" he said. I knew what I was about to do was digging my own grave but I couldn't hold back, I quickly hugged him tightly.

I wandered around the place which strangely seemed like Olympus, but it wasn't Olympus. Have I travelled backwards in time? Shut up mind! You always say the worst possible things. The people around me looked at me weirdly. I said that out loud didn’t I? Stupid, stupid me. These people were still staring. It was creepy and they were all wearing clothes which was outdated in fashion world. That’s exactly how Luke says it. I bothered to cross check the quantity of Novanium. How could I be so stupid and impulsive? I rushed

Kit said into the phone. “Kit I thought you said that we would get together sometime today. On just leaving the base now I was wondering if you were available to talk.” She heard Aaron say. “Aaron, I’m sorry it’s not that I forgot I was just swamped today at work. Unfortunately, if I’m trying to clear my schedule for Sanchez’s services, it took longer than I had expected. Also yesterday it was announced that my company had been bought out. It’s not really a good time for me to just hang out.” Kit replied. She knew that everything she had said was the truth but she still felt terrible somewhere in her heart that she doubted her friend so much that she really did not want to be left alone with
