| Summary | "The Day Time Stopped Moving" by Bradner Buckner is a science fiction novella written during the early to mid-20th century. The story follows Dave Miller, a man whose attempt at suicide results in an unexpected and surreal experience where time itself seems to have come to a halt. This narrative explores themes of regret, redemption, and the consequences of one’s choices, all set against a backdrop of speculative scientific theories about time. In the novella, Dave Miller, a struggling druggist, arrives at a moment of despair fueled by alcoholism and his failing marriage. After attempting to end his life, Miller finds himself in a stasis where time has stopped, leaving him alone in a frozen world filled with lifelike statues of people and a police dog. As he grapples with his situation, he encounters John Erickson, a scientist whose experiment with time has gone awry, trapping them both in this timeless void. Together with the dog, Major, they devise a plan to restore movement and return to their lives, ultimately leading Miller to confront his past mistakes. The story blends personal struggle with speculative elements, showcasing how pivotal moments can lead to profound personal transformation. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
