Esta é " Um pouco de paz e tranquilidade " de A zona crepuscular .
While doing a little gardening (to the tune of her neighbor’s chainsaw), Penny digs up a necklace with a watch on it. That afternoon after a hectic trip to the grocery store, spilled milk, and an idiot husband, she clasps the watch and screams, “SHUT UP!” To her shock and awe, there is immediate silence as everyone freezes.
....
That night as Penny is luxuriating in a bubble bath, she hears a new annoying sound — an air raid siren. Her husband calls her in to hear the news that Soviet missiles have just entered US air space. She stops time and for some reason decides to take a stroll downtown in her robe. It is an eerie site as she weaves her way around frozen people and stopped vehicles. She sees several people who are looking at the sky. Looking up, she sees a nuclear missile just a few hundred feet from vaporizing her town.
