~o0o~ Book 1 of the "Better Times" trilogy ~o0o~ (Book two: "A Name to Remember") (Book three: "No One is Happy with This") There was a time where a Royal Scientist got an idea. A time where he created two weapons, who turned out to be people. A time where he built a machine to power the Underground. There was a time when the timelines weren't messed up by a certain flower, and then a certain child. There was a time before. ~o0o~ Wattpad Featured Story on 4/28/17 - on the OLD featured list ~o0o~

It was no secret anymore. Something was wrong...VERY wrong...but what?
