《The Fragile World》V1 Chapter 1- Now What?
Advertisement
OK so now I know what's going on. But now what? What the heck am I supposed to do while everything's frozen in time. Don't panic me, In and out... OK now let's take a look at the fact's so far everything around me is frozen. First let's see if that includes the outside to. While attempting to exit the building I have come to another conclusion. I can't exit the building. Figures that anything frozen includes the door.
OK now I have a reason to panic, noting that if time doesn't restart without water I'll die from dehydration. Hold up... realizing something, everything is frozen so how come I can still breath? Obviously even though time is frozen for some reason that doesn't apply to everything. Now that I think about it, why doesn't it apply to me.
Recalling an old scifi movie I watched, I begin to develop a theory. Looking at the clock which says 10:43, and then my watch which reads 10:48 I decide to try something. First things first, find something that when unfrozen will be obvious.
Looking at Sarah "Here goes nothing" I place my hand on her wrist to feel for her pulse. OK if my theory is correct then in 5 minutes I will be able to feel her heartbeat. My hunch is that the reason for resistance when attempting to move something frozen is not because time is frozen but instead because I was simply disjointed from it.
Simply put the reason I couldn't move the doors or Sarah is because me being 5 minutes ahead in the future, It's obvious I would be unable to change something in the past. Naturally this didn't apply to things like air and light sense being in constant interaction with me they have already caught up to me. On that note... Sarah finally catching up to me jumps out of her chair in shock...

"What the hell, you were.... How... David sense when were you a god damn wizard.”
"Not quite what's going on, well actually I am not completely sure myself what's going on but so far I am pretty sure I don't have magic."
"You teleported..."
"Perhaps it's better to show you then to explain it, come with me"
We both just silently stare at the floating cup of coffee in my office, and finally Sarah breaks the awkward silence.
"I am not sure what to say... So I'm assuming that I am not dreaming or insane. So what the exactly is going on, seeing as you seem to have some explanation."
"Well simply put it seems everything with the exception of us seem to be 5 minutes behind in time, and the only reason you aren't is because by being in contact with you for an extended period of time caused you to catch up to me."
...
"Which is also why I suddenly appeared in front of you, what was 5 minutes to me was instantaneous for you"
Sarah Pov-
After David went to his office, I went and decided to place the call to reschedule the appointment (AN- Remember how David didn't get a dial tone this is why). After hearing the dial tone for sometime a woman answered the phone.
"Hello this is Andrea speaking, can I help you?"
"Yes this is Sarah from Kaso's Mental Outpatient Program. We are sorry we missed your sons appointment do you intend you reschedule for this week?"
"Ah no don't worry about it we will come by next week sorry about how rude Jacob was. Things happen."
"No problem, I'll inform the doctor we will just see you next Tuesday then. Feel free to call if you have any troubles." End Call

Leaning back feeling exhausted, with a headache coming on I can only groan... While reaching for my purse to get my bottle of ibuprofen, my body suddenly freezes up. Panicking trying to figure out what was happening I tried to scream out hoping someone would here me, apparently the world or god answered my call by giving me sudden waves of dizziness. Strangely after a several minutes of this which felt like forever it suddenly stopped. What happened next shook me to my core, as David suddenly appeared out of nowhere and somehow suddenly had my wrist in his hand. After jumping up an almost tripping over my chair I said the first thing that came to my mind while wishing I could take it back.
"What the hell, you were.... How... David sense when were you a god damn wizard" Still having a hard time believing what I am seeing when he answered me I could only feel relief.
"Not quite what's going on, well actually I am not completely sure myself what's going on but so far I am pretty sure I don't have magic."
"You teleported..."
"Perhaps it's better to show you then to explain it, come with me"
Not sure what to expect, I followed him into his office. I froze at the scene in front of me. This doesn't make any sense!! OK teleportation is insane in itself but at least to a certain extent I can understand it. At least with science we can explain teleportation. But this completely defies common sense!! Seeing as I have been completely mind raped, I may as well admit it. I'm completely at a loss. Breaking the silence hoping for some answers I say.
"I am not sure what to say... So I'm assuming that I am not dreaming or insane. So what the exactly is going on, seeing as you seem to have some explanation."
"Well simply put it seems everything with the exception of us seem to be 5 minutes behind in time, and the only reason you aren't is because by being in contact with you for an extended period of time caused you to catch up to me."
Once again having no idea what to say I just urge him to continue.
"Which is also why I suddenly appeared in front of you, what was 5 minutes to me was instantaneous for you"
Staring at each other for a moment we suddenly here a loud yet jovial voice behind us...
"Yahoo Hiya let's go have a nice chat at my domain so I can explain what exactly is happening"
"Why can't we get our explanation here?" I ask turning to the direction of the voice but seeing nothing.
"Mainly because if the world time continues with you guys five minutes ahead of everything, you will both cease to exist. I assume you don't want that right?"

Helena's Plane
Paul, a bored young man, wakes up in a white room. A young woman tells him he has died, that she is some kind of god who likes videogames and he will be reborn in an RPG-esque world so she and her fellow god-friends can watch him for entertainment.Unfortunately, the goddess forgot to give Paul most of the obligatory, obvious cheat-abilities to make him rush to power in easy mode. Paul embraces his new life full of clichés, perverts, magic, loot and action. And animal girls.18+ !CONTAINS GRAPHIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL CONTENT! (Actual sex is still hard to find, but you will get it. Eventually. Sporadically.) =================Author's note:So, this is my very first novel. It will be poorly written, has a huge info-dump disguised as a first chapter (to be rewritten. At some point in the future. I guess.), and may or may not offend everyone for different reasons. Perhaps you will just find it boring, which would be even worse. The description turned out a bit comedic, but the story isn't overly so.I have a rough idea of where this will be going, but expect some bumps on the road, as well as logic holes, flat characters and a lot of borderline copyright infringements from all the ideas I got reading other works. And did I mention I'm not a native speaker? No? Well, expect some embarrassing grammar and wording choices.The main character is a more or less normal guy, without high morals, martial arts skills or even a desirable goal in life. There is mature content, in terms of violence and sexual content. It won't become a full-blown erotic novel, and it may or may not be your cup of tea when it comes to the type of content.Critics welcome.

The Dog with a Chair
As of now, this story is dropped. It was an excellent learning experience, but the quality suffered too much from me trying new things for me to continue in good concience. Thanks to anyone that read it. I'm leaving this story up as a record of my first ever attempt at publishing something I've wrote. To any new writers out there, remember that even if the stuff you write is trash, you can still learn a lot from writing it. - November 17th 2020 Guy gets involved in advocacy for civil engineering projects, then gets pulled into an interdimensional war. Third person with a focus on one main character (Stanley) with the occasional point of view from another character important to story progression. Writing style tends to shift early on as I figure out how to write (this is my first book). Still learning, hoping to improve. Current style choice is to have a focus on character dialogue/actions with interspersed internal monologue in italics. No current end is set for the story, with the primary goal of this project being to learn to express myself in a written format. Storyline is kept as consistent as practical while covering things I find interesting. Governmental systems are mentioned, but not explained in extreme detail. Sci fi elements are used to reinforce and guide plot progression as I'm able. Personal goals belonging to each character are in the process of being developed, with the hope that they will support or oppose each other in interesting ways later on. Hope you enjoy :)
