Time stopped.
Just for a split-second, so that it wasn't enough for anyone to notice. And even if they did, it was put down to absent-mindedness. People just suddenly forgot what they were doing and simply re-traced their steps to remember.
Just a split second, which nobody would have missed?
So then, why did one small being notice it?
Perhaps it was because he was THE ultimate time-keeper. The Ultimate time-keeper was known to his friends and colleagues as Tut. He never really had a real name. Or at least he couldn’t remember his old name. He’d been around forever. Since the dawn of man at least, if not the universe.
None of the other planets in the universe had the concept of time. It was only the earthlings who did: The other planets were not too bothered about punctuality or keeping track of how old they were.
Tut therefore knew that whatever/whoever it was, that was responsible manipulating time, it was an Earthling. Or at least it was on Earth. This was the fiftieth or so split-second which had been stolen.
It may not sound like much, but when multiplied by the number of life-forms on earth, it was a lot. You see, when a split second is stolen from time, it is not just stolen from time, it is stolen from everyone who exists in time. So therefore a split-second is actually a split-second for every life form on earth.
When it adds up, it’s a lot of time to go missing.
Time does not just vanish, Tut thought to himself. Whoever had stolen it was very clever. They were also up to no-good. Nothing good can ever come from manipulating time, which was why Tut had obviously been issued with the responsibility of being the Earth’s Time-keeper.
He had two gadgets which enabled him to keep the time. One was a digital watch: this told him the time in every time zone. The second was a measure for actual time, which dated back to when time began, which was when the gadget had been invented. This resembled an electronic ruler, with a tally marker for every thousand years. He could then tap on each individual tally, which would then zoom in, and show that the tally marker was actually made up of a smaller combination of tally’s for each year. This then zoomed in, to show the days, hours and seconds of each year etc. It wasn’t easy to read, and it took thousands of years to learn, but when you were the keeper of all time, there was no need to hurry.
His job had been to guard the dimension of time on Earth, and to make sure that Mankind did not find a way to manipulate time. Once mankind could manipulate time, He could find his way through to the twin dimension. The twin dimension, was where Tut lived. The twin dimension, was parallel to Earth’s dimension: Earth was an experiment, created by G.O.D (the Grand Old Doctor).
GOD had wanted to see how fast it would take for a planet to grow; for the life forms to advance; and for the planet to fade and die again, in order to see how long was left, in the ultimate existence.
It was called the twin dimension, because every time a life form was born, it had a twin, who was born on earth. He had employed Tut to keep a watch on mankind and how advanced he became, in-case it was necessary to abort the experiment.
GOD needn’t worry much longer, because he knew man was coming to the end of his days. The signs were all there: global warming, technological advancement and the age of enlightenment. He liked to watch his earthlings and to toy with them.
He often teased them, by flying his remote control hovercraft over the surface, so that men thought they were being abducted. He used this as an excuse to experiment and watch on them more closely.
He also used it as a holiday when he needed one. The great thing about living in the twin dimension was that you could manipulate things as much as you liked. You could be an inch high in one moment, and you could be 100 foot high, the next.
His nephew Tut, liked to be small, because he liked to hide and play with the earthlings. This was partially why he had been chosen for the job as the time-keeper.
Tut liked to take the form of a little yellow rubber duck. He'd been curious as to why people liked them so much, especially as they seemed to have no purpose in the world. He found it also gave him anonymity on Earth: people seemed to regard him as an abandoned toy, and carried on without giving him so much as a second look.
That was, until one day, a girl named Hazel came along. She picked him up, thinking how cute his little waistcoat was, and pocketed him.
