Good day great people of 
Trust you're doing well.
Here's my entry for this week's prompt.
I sometimes imagine what it would be like if the whole world suddenly stopped moving and only I could still move. People would freeze mid-step, birds would hang in the sky, and even the hands of a clock would stop. It would feel exciting but also a little scary.
The first thing I’d do is just look around. Walking through a world where everything is still sounds magical. Cars would be stuck on the road, leaves would hang in the air, and conversations would stop halfway. I think I’d spend a few minutes just wandering and enjoying the quiet, like stepping into a painting.
After that, my curiosity would kick in. I’d go to places that are usually crowded parks, museums, busy streets and see them completely empty. I’d notice little details that I normally miss when life is moving fast. I’d see people’s faces frozen in a smile, a frown, or a handshake. It would remind me how short and precious each moment really is, and how much we take constant movement for granted.
But I would also feel a sense of responsibility. Being the only one who can act for an hour gives a lot of power. It would be tempting to use it for selfish reasons, but I think I’d rather use it to help. Maybe move someone out of harm’s way, pick up something someone dropped, or leave kind notes for strangers. Even if nobody knew it was me, it would feel good to know I made a difference.
When the hour ended and time started again, everything would go back to normal except for me. I think I would see life differently. Stopping time would teach me how valuable every second really is. I’d probably slow down more, listen better, and enjoy small, everyday moments instead of rushing.
In the end, freezing time wouldn’t just be about exploring or doing amazing things. It would be about looking at the world in a new way and coming back to real life with more gratitude. That, for me, would be the true gift of an hour where time stood still realizing how beautiful life is when it moves.
