inanedirkI had an interesting, and slightly scary, dream last night.
In it, I'd discovered that I could freeze time by jumping up "just right". (Don't try this at home - I did, doesn't work).
There were two problems with this though: The first, of course, was that doing it more than once weakened the fabric of spacetime. Things I touched while time was frozen tended to just disappear. I discovered that not only did they disappear, they ceased to have ever existed at all, which was particularly bad when touching (or just accidently bumping into) people.
The second problem was, that I couldn't keep my mouth shut about it, so I told some friends and family who then, of course, wanted to try as well, while I tried to stop them because of the consequences.
At one point I thought of travelling to Libya and meeting Gaddafi, but Time had a habit of filling the void left by disappearing people with other folks, so getting rid of him would not neccessarily have made things better, just different.
Anyway, me and some of the people I told about it all froze time at the same time, and a dozen of my friends and family just disappeared, which sucked.
Some other things happened and in the end I got stuck in a world with only few people left in it, while I myself was not quite there; being more like a ghost people couldn't see, just hear.
