Let's see if you continue. I hope that you do.

.....should be in the Sci-fi category.

I disagree. When people think 'sci-fi' they think of futuristic things like Star Trek which are more based on, well, science as well as technology. The 'superhuman' aspect of it is more of a fun plot device that runs in the background of the actual goings-on of the real world.

Thank you for sharing it with us and I look forward to reading more of this well-written copy soon.

As to the SF definition argument that looks likely to take off, IMO Science Fiction is a much broader genre than the original commenter would have us believe. Just take a look at some of the old classics in the field, such as 'Flowers for Algernon' and 'The Star' to get some idea of the genre that connects Verne to Vonnegut and Asimov to Aldiss.

Well done with the story - five stars.

I can see where you're coming from. However, I wanted to put it under Novels & Novellas because by the time I wrote the fourth chapter, I realized the sheer size of the story was going to be tantamount to at least the size of a novel.

If nothing moves & birds don't fall out of the sky even, how come he can move pens & open a drawer to put them in?

Earlier in the chapter, he stops time only for a few birds in the sky and worries that someone saw it. He quickly realizes he can freeze and unfreeze select things if desired.

Huh? Why? How? Well, Because! Just because that's the way the author wrote this story.

This is a Wish Fulfillment genre. Logical, even fun but not reasonable or rational. So far good writing skills building on an interesting premise and hopefully three-dimensional character development to follow. {rimshot!}

When he stopped time to eat breakfast, his food did not become as hard as cement or immovable. Easily fixed by freeing it from stopped effect.

Don't think I've ever read a story in which someone has stopped time to take a nap. A real fun story to read.

It's finished, so I'll give it a go. No idea how you'll sexy it up with stopping time, but who cares, the ability is too funny lol
