Slipe

 When the last slice of sun vanished, an icy cheer went up, half joy, half fear.

In the middle of the afternoon, it suddenly felt like midnight.

And those six minutes stretched in a way that messed with everyone’s sense of time.


The day the sun clocks out for six minutes

Imagine standing in the middle of your workday, your phone still buzzing with emails, when the world slowly slides into twilight. Then into something darker than any storm cloud you’ve ever seen. That’s what’s coming: the longest total solar eclipse of the century, a rare moment when the Moon’s shadow will sweep across Earth and hold the sun hostage for around six long, unreal minutes.


This isn’t the quick “blink and you miss it” show some people are used to.

This is a full-on, drawn-out blackout — the kind that will turn afternoon streets into something that looks like a power cut in space
