Suddenly, my hand glowed, and everybody stopped talking. In fact, everything stopped. James' mouth was wide open like he was about to yawn (or eat a Big Mac, whatever works), but the yawn never came out. The heart monitor froze, all sound stopped, and when I threw my blanket out of my way, got out of my bed, and looked outside, cars were frozen. Also, since it was raining, I could see individual droplets in the air. At that moment, I figured out what was happening. I swore under my breath.
