1 Chapter 1: Stop the Clock

Tale 1: Stop the Clock

I decided to stop somewhere to eat. I hadn't eaten in so long. I was willing to take the risk of stealing anything. I decided it would be easier to take fast food, and suddenly in an empty lot, I saw something that wasn't there before. My old favorite donut shop, Monster Donut. I thought it was weird enough, but hunger overcame me. I simply walked in and continued. Simply being drawn toward the register, and all thoughts of thievery vanished. The person there smiled, and gave me the Hydra-Donut, almost like they knew me already. I sat down, realizing I never paid, but too hungry to care. I finished it and immediately heard a roar. As if a dragon was outside, and then a sound like cannons firing. I ran outside, and immediately my sword appeared in my hand. I realized it was a hydra, and across the highway, along a river I never noticed was… a Civil War ironclad manned by zombies? Not actually the weirdest thing in my life, but definitively something new. I heard in my mind, a voice telling me to raise my sword in the air with both hands. Well, I already see crazy, why not act it, too, I thought to myself. As I raised Interitus, time slowed once more, once it was completely vertical, time stopped. The hydra froze for two seconds only to get hit by a cannonball. Add more weirdness to my life, now I can stop clocks.

After the explosion happened, I turned around to get more food at Monster Donut, feeling drained like I just went for a 10-mile run. So, basically my last three days fatigue all at once. But as I turned around, the restaurant was gone. Simply put all that was left there were a lot and a smell like a sweetened burnt donut.

Now only to find out why this happened, but how it connected to my new "normal".
