Summary "The End of Time" by Wallace West is a science fiction novella that was originally published in Astounding Stories in the early 1930s. The narrative revolves around a peculiar phenomenon where humanity experiences a paralysis of time-sense, causing people to move in extreme slow motion and eventually be trapped in a state of suspended animation. This work explores the concept of time as a subjective experience, guided by both philosophical musings and the story's gripping events that blend scientific inquiry with human drama. In the story, Jack Baron, a radio engineer, and Dr. Frank Manthis, a chemist, discover that a mysterious force is causing individuals to lose their perception of time, leading them to be frozen in place as the world around them continues to function at a normal pace. With only a limited supply of a drug that temporarily corrects this time-sense, the two men, along with June, the doctor's daughter, struggle against a sinister figure, Ivan Solinski, who seeks to control this power for his own nefarious purposes. As they fight to awaken those who have succumbed to this cataleptic state, their desperation leads them to a climactic confrontation that determines not just their fate, but the fate of the entire world. The story is rich with themes of resilience, the nature of reality, and the implications of scientific exploration gone awry. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
