A group of teens find themselves caught in time with only each other. Each one has their own scars and secrets. Each one has a flair that they must use to escape the time prison. The group begins to follow the only leads they have, which may end up leading them across the earth. With the seconds ticking down, will they be able to find the reason behind everyone's disappearance, or will they all be lost in time forever?
You were born dirt poor to a mother and father who loved you. You were orphaned at the age of eight because poverty is inherently precarious. Thankfully you grew up in a community that cared for you as best as they could. A community that raised you into the young woman you are today.
You live in a world that used to spark with life and hope and magic. Now there still might be magic but ... it's different.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This story takes place in a fictional fantasy world full of fictional fantasy people. Also my take on the magic elements of the world is heavily inspired by my religion of Lokeanism. I recognize that the motifs (is that the right word?) I used in this piece are not necessarily universal.
