Descriptions of Instants without concept

The instant of a sudden silence between people talking.

The instant of getting a joke before starting to laugh

Instant of pulling the trigger of a gun

The instant of basting a niddle with a thread

Instant before a word comes out of the mouth

Instant right before the doctor gives the results of a possible illness

Instant that a cold drop of rain falls on your head

Instant of steping with a shoe deep into the snow producing a certain sound.

Instant that contains all the instants (eternity?)

Instant that we fall asleep
Instant right before the conductor gives the first signal, before moves the hands for the first time.
Instant right before the conductor gives the last signal, before he gives the signal for the end of the and people to clap.
Instant of exchanging glances with a stranger
Instant of the first time you saw your future best friend
Instant of the first time you saw your future girlfriend.
