He tries to lift his arm to check the time, but his arm doesn't move either. Nor can he move his legs, head, or his other arm. But there's no pain. The thought crosses his mind that he's become a fish. His mind is so clear that he even starts to think up an excuse to tell the restaurant owner for being late.
