I admit that lounging around yesterday was fun but I needed to get out and have a look around. I had the smallest hope that I might find someone else who shared my predicament and then I wouldn't be alone. Let's just say I am glad in some ways that time stopped when it was daylight (at least where I lived) as the world is a much scarier place at night. Especially if everything is silent and frozen. If I had someone else to share it with than it might not have been as scary but you never know. The only pain of eternal daylight is finding it hard to sleep because of the light. I had to cover my window with a spare blanket so that I could get to sleep.
I went out my front door and borrowed a car from a frozen person down the street. Luckily it still worked and if I ran out of fuel I could either refuel or just find another car. On my way out of the house I checked in on my parents' room to find their bed empty. They must have gone out after all. My brothers were also absent although this was because they had spent the night away from home. Probably one of the best things about them both being in relationships. Sorry if this seems to be jumping around a bit. I try to keep things relatively linear for you but when a thought comes into my mind I will record it in this journal in case one day someone finds it.
When I reached main street I saw the scene I expected to. It was relatively quiet as it was still early in the morning but there were still a few people frozen as they were walking down the road or waiting to cross the road. I had to look out for some pedestrians who were halfway through crossing the road when time stopped. Luckily most people, though, were still in bed. Who knows, that might come in handy if I'm feeling lonely in the future. Wow, that suddenly turned very creepy but everyone has needs.
I stopped outside the Coles so I could pick up a few provisions for back home but other than that I just had a look around. In the main street there wasn't anything really interesting to do. It was mostly cafes or stores. All the fun stuff was down at the local shopping plaza. Still, I decided to leave that adventure for another day or else I would have nothing to do. Still it was boring here so after picking up some more provisions I decided to head back home.
On the way I stopped past the library. As this was the 21st century there were no DVD stores in the main street (unless you counted the meagre selection at Coles or Woolworths) so my best bet at finding something new was at the library. It was closed but I managed to pick the lock on the door (after watching a YouTube tutorial on my phone first of course, I'm not normally a trespasser) and find some interesting TV shows and movies. I also picked up some audiobooks that looked alright.
When I made it home (I can drive quite well, I've almost got my license) I made some food and sat down and watched a few videos. For following three to four hours were spent in a similar fashion though I did take a break for a curious walk around the neighbourhood to see if I noticed anything. Just before I sat down to write this blog I had done a quick Google search to see if there was anyone else posting online since the time stop. All I came up with was my own blog though so my hopes were quickly dashed.
Today was an alright day I guess but I'm starting to feel kind of lonely. I caught myself talking to thin air in the library today before I remembered I was alone. I hope this time stop ends soon.
Until next time, this is EF signing out :)
