QUESTION: How do you write a movement that "stops abruptly" at the end?

ANSWER: The Tension Symbol is used to show tension of the muscles. It
is called a "Dynamics Symbol" because it shows the "dynamics of the
movement"...

In the attached .GIF look at number 1. The mouth tenses, while the
movement stops abruptly in a tense feeling at the end of the movement.

In number 2, the placement of the clock on the wall is indicated by a
tense stop at the end of the movement.

So Tension Symbols are used to record "abrupt stops":
