[ WP ] Write about a single frozen moment in a scene - slowly revealing things as they are all stuck at one single point of time .

Not many people know this, but I do. You can freeze time if the conditions are right. I'll never forget the last time I froze time. 
 
 I'd just surprised my wife and daughter. My wife was smiling, her head was cocked to one side, and in her eyes, I saw that glittering twinkle that made me fall in love. She'd just slapped my shoulder playfully. I'd teased her. Her necklace glistened. The locket at her throat was partially opened and I could see the dark form of the bottom half that was her father. I could n't make it out, but I'd seen it before and knew. 
 
 My daughter had just seen something that had excited her. She was pointing it out to us, but her mom and I had n't looked yet. Megan, my girl, still wore her ear buds and clutched her Iphone in her right hand while bracing herself on her mother's shoulder. 
 
 Out the window, I remember seeing the after glow of a neon sign that'd just blinked off advertising for a local bar. Beyond the sign was a small house. An old man with a wrinkled face sat upon his porch and watched us. He did n't move. He was frozen like the rest of us. 
 
 It's funny, but with time frozen, you'd think that certain odors could not be smelled. I was surprised. I smelled my wife's perfume. She was n't fond of it, though she pretended that she was for my sake. She only wore it because of me; because I love the smell of Mimosa flowers. Well... I used to. I stopped when time unfroze. There was a lot of things I stopped when time resumed once more. Hell, I was a completely different man after that moment. I stopped drinking. I stopped driving. In my mind, I know time has resumed. That moment is no more, but when I'm alone and my mind is quiet, I'm there again. Once more my world is frozen, my wife is laughing, my daughter is safe, and everything I lost is found. 
 
 I hate it, because time always starts again. It starts and my wife is crushed by the truck I did n't see. It starts and my daughter is thrown through the windshield again. It starts and I keep surviving to live it over and over again. 
 
 You can freeze time if the conditions are right. I would n't recommend it though.
