Time Slowed to a Crawl

Good writing is all about flavour. So how does this relate to your first line? Time slowed to a crawl. Is that showing or telling, noble friends may I introduce the twin trickster gods, simile and metaphor. As a writer you already have control over time. You choose what information comes out when and how quickly. By increasing the detail level you can slow your world from a blur of action into an elegant frozen tableau.
