There once was a man named John, who lived in the town of Mango. He constantly worked and never had any free time. He counted his hours, minutes, and seconds down until he was positive that he had "this much time left" to do whatever he had or wanted to. He would sit at home and lay in bed during the night watching tv unable to fall asleep, counted how many hours he would get of sleep. Eventually this became a routine and he was unaware of what he was doing. Even though nobody around knew about his dilemna nobody would understand, anyway. He went on in life ignoring his problems and made it through High School fine. When he got out he went to college and still did the usual counting of time. "I have 4 hours to study and then I will watch tv, giving me about eight hours of sleep." Little did he know that tonight, his plans would be different. As he studied warnings on tv were vague to him, but they were saying things like Possibly the end of the world, or A New Beginning, In need of a hero. John didn't know that his life would change forever in the moments to come, and he would be the savior of the world. God had plans for this man and he would be the hero that everyone needed. Due to his time counting "skills" his powers would be based off of his talent. He would be able to transform time to whatever he saw fit. He could reverse, fast forward, freeze, or anything he wanted with time. He could make time not exist. But John did not know this yet. He had to finish his studying before that happened. Hours went on and finally John heard a noise. He wondered what it was because he had never heard a noise like it. It grew louder and louder and soon John could not take it anymore. He ran around waving his arms and people looked at him like he was insane. He tried hitting his head to make it stop. It was days before John was calm, but only because he had become used to the noise. John was arrested shortly after for unknown reasons. He sat in jail for three years, and finally it happened. Explosions all around him. He had no idea what was going on, and yet he knew how to handle it. He though deeply for a second and suddenly the noises stopped. Nothing around him was moving. He had stopped time. He walked out of his cell and left the jail. People were frozen in fear. John was astonished and wondered how it happened. He still didn't know it was him doing it until he though for a second again and time began moving. He thought again really fast and saved himself from dying. He knew he had powers now and he had to find out what was going on. He got in a car and began driving towards the source of the missles. As he drove he saw military vehicles that were not Americas. He soon realized that the USA was being overrun by a new government. They were attacking at will and did not care what stood in their way.
