Could it be "The Boy Who Stopped Time" by Anthony Taber?
I remember reading a short story long ago, not sure if anyone has read it. What I remember is that there was a kid in bed with no sound other than the ticking of the pendulum on his clock. I don't remember why, but for whatever reason he opened the clock and grabbed the pendulum, stopping it. However, it ends up stopping time completely.
That's all I remember.
