Instead of saying “a moment”, to denote a short space of time, how about and interstice
(noun) \in-ˈtər-stəs\

It can also be used to refer to a small gap in general.
1 a: a space that intervenes between things; especially: one between closely spaced things <interstices of a wall>
b: a gap or break in something generally continuous <the interstices of society> <passages of genuine literary merit in the interstices of the ludicrous … plots — Joyce Carol Oates>
