Time Stop Novels & Stories

POV: Wolfy Time was a variable they couldn't calculate. In a standard tactical scenario, time is linear. T-minus ten seconds to impact. ETA five minutes. The decay rate of a Barzil isotope. But in the cavern beneath the Dead City, time had stopped. Or perhaps it had looped back on itself, trapping us in a singular, agonizing moment of suspension. I stared at the readout on my datapad. The screen was cracked, the jagged edges of the glass biting into my thumb. The battery was a flickering red bar, critical, but the sensor array was functional.

Third Person POV At the Smith Group's charity banquet, Jason held Susan's hand and stood under the spotlight, basking in flattery. Suddenly, the screen went black, and a statement appeared on a red background. It was a divorce notice—Charlotte's request to formally sever all ties, issued through her lawyer. Next, a clear ultrasound scan was shown, accompanied by an audio recording. "Take her blood. She's tough, so she won't die from donating some blood." Jason's cold voice echoed through the speakers to every corner of the banquet hall.

Did you forget about that? He sneered. "I can't believe you still remember the nonsense I uttered. Besides, I've already brought you here. Willow, you're getting more hysterical by the day. What the hell do you even want from me?" He snapped, "Come on, tell me! I'll cooperate." My whole body was shaking uncontrollably. My voice was barely above a whisper. "I don't want you to 'cooperate.' I just want one last photo together... is that too much to ask for? I don't have much time left, Xavier!"

“The full moon in the underworld isn’t until tomorrow night.” “Are you sure? How do you know that?” “The time changes here; there is no sense of time. Xander controls everything. He probably didn’t think he would get the scepter this quickly. So, he changed the time zone to make it so he has another day. Once it’s the day of, he can’t change it back. So, he’s forced to wait until tomorrow night to do anything.” “How do you know he did this?” I asked, looking around the auburn sky; there was no sign of any moons yet so I wasn’t sure how it was possible that he could know that.

John asked, looking betrayed and I scoffed. “It was my birthday too, you asshole. Did you remember that?” I snapped and his expression literally changed into one of shock as he stared at me. Before I could move, the timer on the screen changed from 23:52:00 to 22:52:00. “Wait, what the fuck?” I asked in confusion and then the sentence written in red became bolder than before. “You can't do that!” Reduction in time for making a conversation with someone I didn't want to talk to? “Who are you talking to?”

Chilli POV The sun has risen on a new day as we must be close to Timmington by now. Looking up at the clock, it reads, 06:40 Just then, Steve's voice comes over the announcer, "Good morning folks, the time is six forty am, and we will be reaching the first stop soon and then the last stop in about an hour to an hour and a half. So please make sure you have all your belongings together and with you. Thank you for travelling with us. I hope the journey has been satisfactory and have a lovely day."

"Time stopped. I stopped...time." All three of them stare at me, stunned into total silence. The air in the room tightens unbearably, pressing down on us all. “You what?” Zeke asks, his voice careful, slow, like he’s not entirely sure he heard the impossible claim right. “I stopped time,” I say, the confession sounding insane even to my own ears. “It wasn’t intentional, I swear. Everything and everyone just froze for maybe a minute or so.” Roman mutters a guttural curse under his breath, leaning back in disbelief. Kael just stares at me, his eyes wide, like he’s trying to see the incredible, impossible magic still clinging to my skin.

However, they had no reason to stop their son, given the current circumstances. Instead, William was open-minded. “Son, you have grown up and are shouldering the safety of the entire universe. As your father, I truly feel proud. Alright. Don’t waste your time on two old people like us before you leave. While there is still some time, go reunite with your few wives and talk to them.” Talk? What was there to say? How could it be more down-to-earth than doing the deed directly? Neela had now comprehended the supernatural power, Time Stop. This supernatural power could modify time. Incidentally, it could also speed up time flow in a specific small area.

Grace's POV It seems like eternity later but we made it to the house in one piece, it looks very different closer with so sign of occupants. "It looks abandoned," The smaller girl said, her voice stronger than when we talked in the house. "We can't be too sure until we check," the second girl replied. After a few seconds of rapid knocks the door opens to reveal the silhouette of a woman. We have no idea what time it is but it is quite obvious it pass midnight.

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.
