Chapter 2

How long are you ?
You wake around Mid-day
The fridge is at it again. Why does it have to make that croaking, uneven rasp all the time? It's like scraping a key against a detuned piano string. And why so damn loud? Oh. You're on the floor with your head right up against the door. That's why. Why are you on the floor though?
You distinctly remember the time on your phone unendingly lingering on 06:36am for the whole time you stared at it, cogs in your mind clicking, ticking as you tried to make sense of your perceptions. Now it says 12:24pm. The screen is cracked.
You open the shutter, and the window. Outside, there is every indication that it is indeed mid-day-ish. There are loads of people entering the residence grounds from all entrances, and most seem to be headed indoors. What little light the sun is sending through the clouds is coming from almost directly above. Also, the air, somehow, has warmed a little by now, so that you notice later rather than sooner that it is too cold to be wearing pyjamas and step out onto your balcony. You make eye contact with some girl far below, and your cheeks start burning.
You hurry back inside and slam shut the window, but it's too late. You're already imagining that girl, and everyone outside who might have seen you, sniggering and chuckling to themselves about the idiot who overslept, and stepped out on his balcony, exhibiting his dishevelled self in nothing but a pair of grotty old boxers and an ancient second or third-hand Lucky Luke t-shirt. Would that it simply stop...
And there it is again. Dead silence. Stone cold dead, absolute dearth of noise. You push the curtains aside gingerly and peer through the window. Your wish is fulfilled. It has stopped, it being, well, everything. The clouds, the tree branches, the falling leaves, the pigeons in the air, the people on the ground. That girl you crossed gazes with along with every other human being in sight is frozen in mid-stride, immobile, unaware.
There's no getting around this: you've stopped time! Twice!
Only the universe did give you a massive wallop in the face after the first time, and you were out for hours. Not fun. End up losing time. Oodles of it. What lecture was it today? Civil law. Well that's that subject fucked. Gonna have to catch up on three hours worth of notes from other students. You don't know any of them. Damn strangers. Always have to get to know them before you can begin making use of them. Oh well.
What of this afternoon? Econ at 02:00pm. Ugh. Keynesian pseudoscience. An hour and a half of witnessing people at once being completely and rightly disillusioned in the ability of politicians and governments not to make a pig's breakfast of everything they try to manage and govern while enthusiastically absorbing a course teaching them that there is some way not only to accurately model and understand the economy but also to manage and govern it, and that the best entity to do so is the government. Add to that you might start thinking about time, get distracted, stop time, and get walloped in the face by the universe again, -- and lose oodles more time. You don't fancy it.
Teacher's pretty hot though. Inscrutable foreign accent. Excellent bottom. Does that justify suffering through the rest of the day with this dodgy situation though?
What do you do?
