The term 'temporary gap' can be described as a 'HIATUS' which is a six-letter word. A HIATUS is a break or interruption in the continuity of a work, series, or action. It can also refer to a pause or gap in time, such as a period of inactivity or a break from a routine. Hiatuses can be intentional or unintentional and can last for a short or long period of time. In some cases, a HIATUS can be used to create suspense or to give the audience a chance to catch up on the story.
