Crisscross

I looked at the pile of books I had to examine and classify, and decided to do the trick.

With a moment of focus, I stopped time, and after a moment to settle my stomach, I began to get to work.

I was three books in when I heard something.

You have to understand, without time, you normally only just feel sound, not hear it. I leaned out of the window to see the young girl skipping rope.

I tried to speak, but she looked up at me, screamed, and suddenly all the time I'd paused hit me at once.
