Defying Chronos

Write a story where time behaves in unexpected ways.

Time can often seem like a strict taskmaster, continuously moving forward and never changing its pace. But what if it didn’t have to be that way? Challenge traditional concepts of time in your writing by creating a story where time behaves unpredictably—you could have time freeze, loop, reverse, or speed up. Explore how your characters interact with and respond to these time irregularities, and what lessons can be learned in such a topsy-turvy world.
