Sam has stopped... but not in the normal way...

Josh felt a cold shudder flow through his body; almost immediately, he noticed something was different and that was it had suddenly gone very quiet. He then became aware that Sam was looking at him, mouth open, except...he didn't appear to be moving.

"Yo, Sam, you alright?" Josh waved a hand in front of Sam's face but Sam just carried on staring, unmoving. He placed his fingers on Sam's neck to check for a pulse, wondering if his friend had, for some weird reason, spontaneously died whilst standing up, but felt nothing. Josh was about to call out for someone to help him when he suddenly realised, even if he did, there'd be no one to help him; everywhere he looked, he saw people in the exact same situation as his friend but it wasn't just people, he could also see animals and objects that were affected.

A few yards up the path, a Jogger was heading towards them or, rather, she had been heading towards them but now she was just balanced on the tip of her left foot, her eyes also unmoving and unblinking. In the Playground, a young Mother was frozen as she made silly faces to her equally frozen Baby and the Girl in the Snack Hut was frozen as she looked at her watch.

Josh looked down and saw the phone still held in his hand and a broad grin instantly crossed his face

"Bloody Hell, I think I just fucking stopped time!"
