DELAY: the nth amount of time past the moment of execution.
Geoffrey vividly remembered the passage in his Fox’s Collegiate Dictionary and gritted his teeth. ‘Moment of execution’ glared at him in neon red like a malevolent poltergeist points to take recriminations for something he didn’t do… but that was the point, wasn’t it? ‘Didn’t do’, ‘Past the moment’, ‘Not on time’, ‘Shoulda coulda woulda’…
“NOW!” he yelled. “HARD A LEE! PORT BATTERY FIRE!”
Bright lights came on in the room accompanied by a thunderous applause.
His opponent glared at him. “A simple check mate would have sufficed,” he grumbled.

It's funny how a lot of really good chess players do have strange personality quirks. I think I can forgive his opponent for being grumpy about such a show-boaty display. :D
Very well constructed and thought out, especially the use of the title as part of the challenge to put it in context!
You've drawn me into taking up this challenge, too. :3

Thanks for this, the "delay" and "moment of execution" reminded me of a story i once drafted and never wrote. So i've compressed it into this:

every one of is hiding Z... there is absolutely no one who it totally out in the open with everything.
James Claval in 'Shogun' summed it up like this. 'There is a heart a man shows everyone. There is a second heart he shows only his trusted friends. Then there is a third heart he shows absolutely no one at all.'
