This makes me think I need to utilize time more as an antagonist! Sometimes, it can be the character's friend as well. For example, if they need to stall someone while they wait for a rescue, or just to extend their next moment of survival. The most recent example that comes to mind in the antagonist role is the movie Don't Move, where time is very much the enemy. The main character is injected with a paralytic agent and she sets a timer on her watch to track when she will become immobilized, which really adds to the tension. At certain points, however, time turns into the ally again when she waits to regain function.
