At exactly 12:01 AM, the world stopped moving. Cars froze mid-road, a falling leaf hung in the air, and even the clock on the wall ticked no more.
Elara stepped outside her room and realized she was the only one who could move. Confused, she tried calling her neighbors, but no sound reached her. Panic started to rise. She wandered through the frozen streets, searching for answers in a world that had paused.
A strange sensation ran through her fingertips — like she could feel the pulse of time itself. And then, she saw him: a boy standing perfectly still, staring at her as if expecting her.
Was she really alone in this frozen world, or was there more to this mystery than she could imagine?
