Introduction

A Moment Suspended in Time
Picture it. The final notes of the national anthem dissolve into the night air. Seventy thousand spectators remain standing, hearts racing, caught somewhere between the euphoria of adrenaline and the haze of too much beer. And then—it happens.
Every light in the stadium snaps off simultaneously. Darkness swallows the stands. Silence presses down like a living thing, thick and absolute—the kind of hush you’d only expect to find in a quiet Welsh valley at dawn. For a heartbeat, the world seems to stop, leaving nothing but the collective breath of tens of thousands suspended in awe.
In that instant, the ordinary becomes extraordinary. Every sound, every shadow, every heartbeat feels amplified. The anticipation is palpable, electric. And all eyes are drawn to the unknown that is about to appear in that perfect, frozen moment.
