Paradox - Lost in Time
In a world on the brink of collapse, a deadly mutation of the Zika virus, labelled H1T1, begins to claim lives with a speed not seen since the Black Death swept through Europe. Desperate to stop the outbreak, a group of young scientists successfully constructs a time machine, hoping to venture into the future to retrieve a cure and bring it back to their present. Fully aware of the risks, they push the machine beyond its limits and find themselves partially stranded in a dystopian future. In this grim reality, the virus has wiped out three-quarters of the global population, dismantling society as we know it. The remnants of humanity now inhabit fractured cities, controlled by brutal armed factions and authoritarian regimes. Trapped in this hostile world, the group must navigate a landscape of violence and despair while confronting their own futures and counterparts from this timeline. The mistakes of the past resurface: rivalries, betrayals, and the devastating losses that tore them apart-murder, madness, and the inescapable brutality of a world drained of hope. In their fight to survive and find the cure, they face not only the dangers of this future but also the haunting reality of what they might become.Concluida

Wattys 2024 Shortlist and sequel to the Wattys 2021 winning story (Sci-Fi category), "Foston Slacks - Time's Flies". Foston and Clara saved the multiverse, which was great, because Clara was the one that endangered it in the first place. Afterward, Foston left her back in her drab, boring, humdrum, safe life. For all of a few hours. Now he's back, with a new, adorable and cuddly face with news that the multiverse is in danger, which was probably also because of Clara. With time running out, and Time helping out, Clara and Foston must seek out the source of all the trouble. Well, the other source. Travelling through space and time, exploring strange new worlds, seeking out new ... wait ... wrong franchise. To save the multiverse, Clara must go to Hell and back (not a euphemism), to a world populated by very familiar people and to a Tibetan monastery two hundred years in the past where both cricket and jazz are invented far too early. Foston and Clara. Together again to save the multiverse. Again. Cover created in Canva, using stock pictures from Pixabay.Concluida
