When you're 12, it often feels as if the world is ending, that things are changing beyond your control. For the narrator of this tightly written story, it's true - the world slowly stops rotating, causing days and nights to last longer and people to go crazy. It's an end-of-the-world story without the usual trappings (roaming gangs, mass panic, survival against all odds). The ending had me wanting more, but there it's nicely written, with hardly an extra word.
