Have you experienced something that you weren't meant to see? Or witness the world around you behave in an impossibly strange manner? What if you were experiencing a glitch in the matrix?

In the first story, we recount the strange findings of a group of construction workers from China, who uncover a strange looking box from one of their dig sites. But when they pry open the box, they are bewildered to find the corpse of a man, preserved as if he had just passed the day before.

In the second story, a friend recounts a bizarre experience from school when during recess, they step out of the bathroom only to find that the whole world had paused. People, objects, sounds, even the air seemed to stand still for a moment, before everything resumed as if nothing had happened.
