Motionless.
Or am I?
I try to move and discover that I am indeed frozen in place. Only then do I realize that my eyes are shut. I open them, glad my lids work. Why am I glued to this spot?
I look around, attempting to assess my situation and surroundings. Everything and everyone around me is frozen as well. Zero motion. Most unprecedented.
Suddenly my memory begins to thaw as I remember who and where I am. But what is happening? A vague recollection permeates the edges of my consciousness. I had wished for time to stop.
Well, what now?
A clever twist here. This story begs to be explored more…perhaps a novel down the line? I’d love to read it if you choose to create it in the future! Great job.
Very clever.
Brie I returned from break, caught up on my reading too late to comment on your earlier stories. I wish to endorse the previous comments of the others. Keep up the good work.
Well thank you so much! I am glad to hear that, and I appreciate it very much. 🙂
A nice little story to remind us to be careful what we wish for–we just might get it! Nice job.
A fine flash, trapped in the moment. Love it!
