The pattern is precise. Unforgiving. And it will not let him choose when to stop.As the interval narrows around him, Daniel is forced to confront what those five minutes really mean: whether foresight is a gift or a debt, whether redemption can be claimed through sacrifice, and whether time offers mercy-or only reveals who we are when excuses run out.The Five-Minute Interval is a morally charged work of speculative fiction about grief, responsibility, and the cost of being just in time.

His stories explore the quiet horror of systems that promise certainty, and the human cost of arriving too late, or too early, to the truth.…
