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.
