Elias has seen the world differently since birth, gifted-or cursed-with the ability to see glowing timers above people's heads, each ticking down the seconds of their lives alongside their fated causes of death. From his earliest memories, he's watched these numbers mark everyone around him-family, friends, strangers-in a secret he can't share. The weight of this knowledge isolates him, forcing him to navigate life as an outsider, avoiding mirrors to escape the fear of glimpsing his own fate.
Now twenty-two, Elias lives on the fringes, haunted by the relentless countdowns that define his world. When he encounters a mysterious woman whose head bears not a timer but a golden infinity sign, everything he understands begins to unravel. Her presence hints at truths beyond his curse, sparking a desperate search to find her and uncover the meaning of her mark. As he delves deeper, Elias must confront questions about his own existence, the nature of time, and the purpose of his strange gift.
Infinity's Mark is a speculative fiction journey through a world where every second is measured, exploring themes of isolation, destiny, and the courage to seek answers in the face of the unknown. Elias's story is a haunting meditation on what it means to live with the weight of inevitability-and the hope of defying it.
