Time, Why You Runaway?

One day the Earth stops revolving around the sun. It doesn’t rotate on its own axis either. Even the moon is stuck up in the sky as you see it. 

What if you got stuck in a world that time doesn’t exist?

I was scanning some of my unfinished writing and I found this topic that has been sitting in my file of drafts for exactly three months now. I almost forgot about finishing this article and I guess it’s time to publish this.

This is about a movie I watched three months ago. Actually the draft has been made the next day after watching the film and I have already forgotten the story. I will try to recall it as much as my memory can (laughs).

The story was about four grade school boys that were trapped in a world where time does not exist. In short, time stops. Everything froze and they were the only people moving and wandering around the same place where they live but all living and non-living things don’t seem to move.

The seemingly falling leaves are hanging up, the sun doesn’t seem to move either. The sea waves hold still and people are like mannequins. Even their families and friends don’t seem to move and not talk. Everything stops literally but they can manipulate them.

At first they were amazed and so happy because they can do whatever they want. Eat, play, sleep and make fun of each other. However the days don’t seem to change. No sunrise or sunset. They were the only ones changing. They no longer know the time and day but they were sure they were there for quite a long because they are growing up.

In the real world they were reported as lost. The police can’t find anything about their whereabouts. No evidence of kidnapping or abduction. Their parents have already forgotten them but still hope that one day their children will return.

The three of them had already died in that place and the main cast of characters have grown up as adults and have found a way to escape.  Surprisingly when he returned to the real world as a full grown man, it was like he was just gone for a couple of days.

What do you think will happen next?

If you were the person in the film, would you go to your family to tell what had happened or would you go to friends? Do you think they will believe you? What proof will you show them? You no longer have identity. No identification card or birth certificate to show to them. How will you prove to them that it was you, when you were lost as a boy a couple of days ago then come back as a full grown man?

There are instances that sometimes we wanted to stop time. Those are the events that bring us joy and happy memories. We want to stop the time and leave the moment as it is like forever, especially when those times were spent with our loved ones.

There are also times that we want to turn back the time so that we can be with the people we lost and loved. For some reason we want to go back to the past to correct some errors and change the course of our life in the future.

But time is an enigma. Sometimes mischievous. It will give you more time to suffer even at the cost of your pain.

If you could save time in a bottle, what is the first thing that you would like to do?
