Time Stops
Thaddeus is like any other boy his age... actually, no he isn't. Not at all. Suffering from total locked-in syndrome, Thaddeus can't walk or talk or move at all, and relies totally on the care given by Miss Barker's Group Home for Disabled Youth. But there is one thing he has control over. One time of the day where he rules the house, and everyone else is frozen and helpless, completely unaware of the strange power Thaddeus possesses. What would you do, if you could get away with anything you wanted?
Time Stops has been selected for publication in the Winter/Spring 2014 issue of online literary journal Lunch Ticket. You can read the entire story here.
