John Carpenter's Tales of Science Fiction: Pause

What if time stopped for everyone but you? Would you stay in the nicest Manhattan penthouse, ignoring the frozen owner standing in the corner of the room? Would you eat at the finest restaurants, their food paused in time and still hot on the plates? And if you could unfreeze anyone with just a touch, would you? Or would you keep this newfound playground for yourself? You could live anywhere. The world would be yours. But would you have the nerve to reach out and take it? These are the questions Henry Jacobs wrestles with when he finds himself walking through a world paused between seconds. As he navigates a New York City devoid of sound and movement, frozen at 11:13 on a Friday night, he meets a few unlikely allies. Along the way, Henry realizes that while he can unpause anyone, he doesn’t have the ability to re-pause them. Anyone Henry so much as bumps into instantly becomes a major player in his eerie new reality. And when Henry unwittingly unfreezes the wrong person, he’s faced with a horror he never thought possible. Written by Matthew K. Manning (Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures, DC vs.
