Short Story
Frozen
It was warm when time stopped working. Eudosia remembered that, later. It was warm, and the air smelled like an intoxicating blend of jasmine and melting popsicle. She was laying, as usual, on her back and in her backyard, riffling her fingers across the overgrown grass and enjoying the particular way the sun pulsed behind the shifting leaves. And then time stopped. Everything stopped, all around her. The leaves stopped rustling. The breeze ceased breezing. The black ants froze their eternal march up to their nest and back again.

Crystal glasses filled with fizzy liquid gold clink together as the newly married couple exchange a kiss.

The exchange of forced smiles is evident as guests dote on one another’s attire and remark on the grandiosity of the venue.

There was no light at the end, not even a fire. From the bottom a cold wind blew, and the clash of extremities spawned vapors of terror in the deadened and numbed appendage that was this strange, delirious, drunken consciousness.

Once upon a time, plastic threatened to drown our world. To swallow it, and perhaps never spit us out again. Or perhaps, more accurate to say, we almost drowned ourselves in the stuff. We could've stopped any time. But we chose not to.
