Day....109?
No...no it's the...104th day...I think
Crap, now I'm turning into them
The names, James, and that's all that you need to know.
This is the year XX99...the year when time ceased to exist.
God I can't believe I'm doing this....
March 10th XX99
This is my official journal entry, the higher up used to tell us to do it as a way of...coming into terms and making amends or something. But anyways I guess while I'm here I'll bore you with my story.
I forgot what I was doing when time suddenly stopped for us. Probably working my usual 9 to 5 shift at my local 6/11 gas station where our motto is to service the customer with a smile...good gosh they managed to brainwash me....
At first we didn't noticed, no one noticed, to me it felt as if the day would never end, just like any other day, but little did I know...the day never ended.
It took the big brain scientists a while to figure it out, but when we did it....took a while for the panic to set in, but it quickly dissipated when we realized the things we could do now.
You see, when time stopped it was about mid day for us here, so it stayed midday. Now I'm not talking about the time we percive, no I'm talking about real time, the one that exist outside of our perception.
Reports came in from all around the world on how it seemed that the world had stopped spining, they called it the day time stopped going, real original huh?, but the public ate it up. All in all one part of the world was sunny, and the other part was dark. Don't get me wrong it was fun for a while, I had enough time to do what I wanted did everything I always wanted to do, traveled, extreme sports, etc but....you know that one treadmill theory? The..the..hedocic? Hedonic...whatwever, the one where they said that after you reach some sort of happiness point you'll revert back to your usuall sad self.

Well thats what happened to me and everyone else. We had all the time we needed, heck more than enough, but after a while it just got...boring and stale. We've done everybody we wanted but now.... There's nothing left.
But that wasn't our only problem, the big braniacs of our world found out that because time stopped the fabric of reality started to dissapate, our 3 dimension world is now ceasing to exist. I asked one of them to explain it in laymen's term and he looked at me and said, "simply...everything we know...will be gone soon... nonexisistant...so with the time you have now, try to find someone you can hold on to...before it all goes to hell."
Too bad for him, it already went to hell...
The he proceeded to take a gun in his drawer and shoot himself shile I just stood there and watched him...
When he hit the floor the expression on his face wasn't that of desperation....it was.. peacefull...I guess he finally found a way off this nightmare while leaving the rest of us to fend for ourselves.
Its not that I hate him for it...but who wouldn't want to wake up from this nightmare. I went over to his body and closed his eyes for him, and for the rest of...well I guess we can't say day anymore, time I just sat there with the gun in my hand, looking at it as if it had all the answers to what I should do now. ..
