Humanity is at its worst when at war.  Each war reminds us of that, but the Final War went to far.  Humanity invented two new weapons.  The G-Bomb and C-Bomb.  And because of them there will never be another war.

The G-Bomb, or genetic eleminator bomb, tore through our genetics and made everybody lose one of their five senses.  Touch, taste, smell, sight, hearing.  Everyone lost one, even the next generation.  Seemingly random it stole a part of us.  And no matter what medicine was tried, nothing could help.  The religious claimed one thing, the government another, and businesses a third.  And people let them, till they tried to take up arms again.  Wounds still fresh.  So a group rose up, around the world, in unison.  They called themselves the Innocent, and they said one word, NO. 

And that was that.  No more war.  For now, while the wounds fester and heal.  But wounds heal and are forgotten, as will these, as it has with every war ever.  Hence why these are just wounds.  Now scars people remember, and that is what the other bomb caused.

The C-Bomb, or chrono stasis bomb, left scars.  Deep scars.  Where they fell time froze completely.  Everything could be seen as if someone paused a video.  And trying to enter the blast zones resulted in nothing.  No one could get in, it was like the hardest wall of clearest glass.  You could see people, loved ones, strangers, trapped.  These places became known as the Scars of the war.

Then a rumor started that if you could get in your loss sense would return.  If.  If you could, and if it did, then what.  Tecnobable explained it as the everyone's senses are trapped in the Scars.  And they built a suit to go in...

Will it work?  Will it be sabotaged?  Are the senses restored in the Scars?

O.K., I see this as a Rapture type event, those "trapped" are actually living in peace and prosperity and see those outside as frozen, to remind THEM of what happened.

Sorry... I totally got stuck on thinking "What scars would the F-bomb make?" 
🤣😂
 ANYWAYS 
I would totally use this (what you wrote) as the premise of a story, I could see it being a good one, too, if I knew a bit more about science maybe? Definitely a fun start. :)

O.K., instead of both sides seeing the other frozen, the C-Bomb breaks time. What those on the outside see is the last instant before the side that was trapped is ripped from the time stream and sent forward in time to a moment where everyone lives in peace and harmony with plenty for everyone and what THEY see is a blur that scientist soon discover is the "outside" speeding by - like that scene in H. G. Wells' The Time Machine where the Time Traveller watches the world outside his machine speed by as he travels through time.

Someday the outside will catch up to the "trapped" side and they will "re-sync", but when? Will the outside see the trapped side start to move as they approach synchronicity? Will the trapped side see the outside slow down? When they do catch up, will they actually be in the same "place"? Will the outside have bettered itself to the same degree as the trapped side or will they have become even more divided, consumed with a jealous rage brought on by their desire to enter the trapped area in order to regain their lost senses? What happens then when they re-sync?

I don't know if I can actually flesh anything out, but you've got me thinking - IMMA GIVE YOU A BADGE! AND POINTS! why? because I can.
