The Button That Could Stop Time
In a cozy little village, there lived a curious girl named Mina. One night, her father gave her a mysterious gift wrapped in a silk cloth. Inside was a shiny silver button.
“This,” he said with a wink, “is a Time-Stop Button. But you can only use it when the world is most beautiful.”
Mina kept it in her pocket every day. She almost pressed it during birthday parties, when fireworks lit the sky, or when her puppy first rolled over.
But one night, as she snuggled under her blanket, her father kissed her forehead and whispered, “Good night, my star.”
Mina looked around—her warm room, the soft hum of the night, her father’s love in the quiet—this moment felt perfect.
She reached for the button, smiled, and said, “I don’t need to stop this. I’ll just remember it forever.”
And with that, she closed her eyes, the button glowing faintly in her dreams.
