12:37 I cut my hand with the bandsaw in woodwork.

I looked at the time 12:36. If I avoided it the bandsaw then my phone would crackle and that could be suspicious. 12:37. "OW!" My hand was bleeding and aching with pain. "Sir! I've cut myself" I yelled from the end of the class. The teacher looked up at me and pointed me to go to the nurse's office not saying any words. As I left the class and I had the whole class looking at my hand. As the door closed I hear the class burst into whispers that weren't really whispers.

As I walked to my next class after the nurse bandaged my hand I checked my diary. 1:00 Bomb goes off in class 3-A. My arm is blown off from the blast. The time was 12:59. I looked up and saw the class number and my heart skipped a beat. 3-A. Beep beep beep. The time changed to 1:00. And I dived out of the way of the blast.

There were screams everywhere and my ears were ringing. I heard a static sound. "I changed the future" I thought aloud. 1:04 Another bomb goes off, this time in Class 3-C. I ran down the hall sprinting passed all the classes each having bombs go passed the second I pass them. I stopped running with a sudden realisation. I picked up a book and threw it down the hall and a bomb went off. "Shit! It's motion sensitive". I heard a static sound come from my phone. 1:32 DEAD END. It was 1:06. "26 minutes until I die, lovely".

I heard footsteps coming from behind me. I turned around and there was someone I knew running at me with a gun pointed at my head. It was Stewart. His face was bruised up from yesterdays smash but other than that looked normal. I stared at him and he was staring at me. He put his finger on the trigger and his arms were shaking violently. I continued to stare at him. "H-how are you so confident!" He yelled. "Because you're not" I grinned back. 'BANG!' He pulled the trigger. I didn't flinch as the bullet flew passed by my head. Stewart's jaw dropped and his gun fell to the ground. "HAHAHAHA!! I knew you would miss!!!" I said hysterically. And just as I expected Stewart pulled out his phone and looked at it. 1:10. DEAD END. "D-d-dead end!!" Stewart screeched. "When?" I asked "1:10". I checked the time. 1:09 and I knew what I had to do.

I picked up a book and threw it at Stewart. "Ow! What was that fo-". He stopped mid sentence. I held the gun to his face and his eyes widened with fear. "Sorry". I pulled the trigger and Stewart's DEAD END, became true. "Now hopefully my Dead end is gone" I whispered. 1:32 DEAD END. "W-what! I don't understand! Why is it still there!!" 1:29. A bomb goes off and my left arm and left are blown off. "I guess I die from blood loss."

Time. It was always about time. Always too much or never enough. I needed to stop my DEAD END. But how?
