It's December the 25th, and I'm sat around eating Christmas dinner with my parents, my three younger siblings and my girlfriend. I'm wearing a stupid pink hat and I've spent the day watching cheesy Christmas films and playing kid's games.
Sounds too good to be true, right? That's because it comes with a catch.
From a fight with a dinosaur who wants to munch on Hamleys, to meeting myself from the future, impossible things are happening. Recruited by the Hunters, it's our jobs to neutralise the threat. It's a pretty easy job, if somewhat tiring... And then he came along...
This is the battle that's the most tiring, that makes us want to curl up and sleep forever. We're hopelessly outmatched against a man who seems to be from another world. We're hired by the people who want us locked up and experimented on. We're running out of time.
Oh, and the world's going to hell.

"Then can I move schools? Attend your boarding school?" He was silent, then let out a long sigh of defeat. "I'll enroll you now. Pack your things, I'll send a car in the morning for you."
