A world where time is the most relevant thing in todays society. Where people depend on time, live on time, and die on time. Time is what keeps them going or stops them in their tracks. When the time on their hand reaches 0, it’s game over and their life is no more. So, how do these people stay alive? They pass different stages to gain time. If they fail to pass the stage, they lose time and gain age. These stages involve combat, athletics, academics, stealth and creativity.
The time countdown does not start until an individual reaches the age of 18. Once they turn 18, they stop ageing, unless they fail to pass a stage. Failure to pass a stage results in a loss of time and the ageing of two years.
No one has ever passed all the stages before. Is it possible for someone to pass all the stages and find out the guy who is pulling all the strings? Read to find out!

Such The Liar Painted Me
This is a #TeenFictionAnotherYearShortStory entry. --- Believe me, when adulting takes place, you forget your naïve little side instantly and are ready to fit yourself in the big boots. But let's say, it's too soon for Olivia Dee. For her, graduation was a ceremony, a consummation of all the misery and guilt she had had to bear, of which none whispered-and she finally had the chance to leave it all behind. But the world's twisted, right? What if...I say, she has to relive all her past memories--that nasty first kiss, to be labelled a troublemaker, to be accused of things she could never imagine ever doing? Sadly, this is not her decision to make. A day after her graduation, she wakes up to face her senior year again. She knows that she had completed her education, she spends hours yelling about it on everyone's face. But at the end, she has to go to college again with one question--how does she even return back in time? But this time, all she has to do is grapple with a recurring dream, try to eliminate all the dark spots in her senior year and find out the reason of this travel back in time. Yet one thing's for sure, she hasn't travelled back in time. I give you my word. I know. There are numerous black-outs, sudden falls, chills, drama and a whole different system of cheating, drugs, revenge and a famous Queen sister, who is, mysteriously, now not famous at all. Watch her swim and drown, as she struggles between her reality and to keep up with her past struggles again, literally. Meanwhile, there's one context she never understands: Death undoes anything. *** Credit to @cattown_graphics She is a real darling, and managed to present me this cover at a very short notice.
