He gave everything he had to protect us from something beyond our understanding, and we will never truly know. He stretched himself across time and space itself to stop this, feeling pain we likely cannot comprehend. Rest well Sean. You’re a hero.

      @@luizguipro4855 I would assume, given the rules this video implied, that this is the correct answer. Think about moisture (water particles in the air). If those cannot move as well, that would also connect to the liquids in Sean's body possibly being unable to move, since the air particles like oxygen are also in our bodies, getting breathed in constantly while we breathe out co2. We can also put it as Sean "moving" the time-space his mass occupies, so as he occupies another location in reality the particles there replace those he leaves behind in suspended time. It would be easy to imagine what I'm saying if you look at the surface of a cup of coffee when you move the spoon around to stir it.

    Jesus. That was one of the Most creative stories I've ever heard. If science one day figures out how this can be real... time manipulation i mean, then this seems like it'd be the closest thing to reality. Excellent story. The author should write a prequel about the original egg head as he is in the present as that 14 year old boy with a rap sheet already, seeing as his future self was caught and killed by Sean in that warehouse.

      Fun fact; time is realitive the closer you are to the black hole in our galaxy the slower time gets so if you were to fall into the black hole you would watch everything in the universe end before you died (you'd also die by being ripped apart into a long string of atoms) :)
      But if this is the case it would still be impossible to move because the air particles around you wouldn't move, so if there's a weight/size limit to it he could have saved his fiance or something.

    Yes! Stopping time is one of the most interesting concepts I've seen, whether it's limited like Jojo's or unlimited like Click.

      I think whenever Sean uses his abilities, it opens a doorway go somewhere else. That "somewhere else" leaks out of the doorway. Since he spends so much time with Delilah, she begins experiencing its corrupting effects. It corrupts other things too, such as the computer with Solitary, the boss's mug, and even people... turning them into those things. The more you interact with that other dimension, the more you corrupt yourself and your surroundings. That is just my immediate guess though 🤷🏻‍♂️

      @@benjaminpinney8509 The impression I got with things getting weird while he froze things, like the mug and such, was that it was the shadow presence altering the environment. As it was something Sean was never able to do, it was like a foreboding breadcrumb trail leading up to the scissors with Delilah. Even then, Sean was unable to manipulate things, but the other entity could.
      Given his ability is more about stasis than manipulation, I'd expect any leaking out powers to be more like clock hands standing still, lost time, people freezing suddenly in his presence, or items not budging from their point in space-time, even when the rest of the world is moving, rather than things to alter and change randomly.

    This was honestly really good, and it was kinda sad at the end. This might be a new favorite channel since I've found it's fun writing my books while listening to these.
    edit: i know people probably don’t care but i think the story where the guy goes out in the woods to kill his fiancé that turned into a wendigo is my favorite of these stories, second being the supernatural doctor Delilah or smth

    I have heard this story narrated by another horror story RUclipsr but I have to say you by far did a better job than the other version I've heard

      @@kollekcionergolov true 🤔 but imagine you could read a book in the time it takes you to turn every page once. Like scanning through it.
