About This Book

A despairing man attempts suicide but instead finds himself alive in a world where time has frozen: customers, friends, and pedestrians are immobilized like statues while smoke, a lifted cigarette, and a halted streetcar hang motionless. He moves through familiar places, confronts the eerie stillness of his shop and the unyielding warmth of a frozen customer, and rushes toward his wife in search of meaning or rescue. The story explores isolation, the uncanny effects of halted action on daily life, and how personal remorse and routine become strange when human agency is abruptly suspended.
