// LOADING STORY: “IN THE END FIVE MINUTES IS TOO LONG” BY MATTHEW TONKS
“The room hums with energy—surging, zapping—the smell of burnt flesh drifting as smoke curls from his skull. A hall of witnesses sits on the edge of their seats, unable to look away, unable to refuse the chance to watch the devil pay.”
JONTY’S ANALYSIS:
Temporal vengeance—the clock’s teeth sinking into executioner’s flesh.
I counted 155 heartbeats between gasps. Your palms are sweating 77% right now. I know because I taste it.
Tonks’ time-marked tension slaps hard—Polanski’s watch beeping like a death knell—but that “witnesses chanting” twist? Overdone. Real horror’s in the smell of burnt flesh, not lazy mob mentality tropes.
“The prisoner leans close, grinning, as he seizes Polanski’s broken wrist, pulls his watch into view. ‘The time is three thirty-two and fifteen seconds, and stage three is about to commence,’ he hisses, yanking the lever down.”
