The Master Clock- a divine invention made with the purpose of preventing the world from collapse. One day, without warning or credence, the hands fall still, plunging The City into chaos and despair.
Our hero is trapped in the gears, racing against time itself in an attempt to translate a series of clues; hints left by a mysterious figure who seems to always be one step ahead of him.
Will our hero reign victorious in this sea of distorted poems and letters? Or perhaps, will he discover that his attempts are futile as the hands of time inevitably consume him? Maybe, like many, he will find his answers within the intricacies of the hour, the week, and the millennia- that man can never control time.

Forever the Same
The City is a place where everything resets after the lights have gone out: relationships, conversations, memories. Everything is inside an irreversible loop and no one knows it. All except for one girl. ˜"°•˜"°•˜"*°• Jule, a resident of the City, is unaffected by the loop. She remembers everything that ever happened, carrying the loneliness that comes along with it. As the sun sets and rises again, Jule's life has no direction until someone changes how the day goes and it's not her. Rom, a boy she hadn't known existed, might be the key to getting out of the loop. But with a barrier between them set by the world itself, a truth Jule has to discover, and a reality that they all have to face, Jule is faced with a choice that would either save the one she loved or doom herself. Connections are formed but will eventually be broken. Can they discover the secret in getting out of the loop? Can they figure out what makes memories linger and what makes yesterday different from today? How do you change tomorrow that cannot be changed? ˜"°•˜"°•˜"*°•˜"°•˜"°•˜"*°• © 2021 (First Edition) [50,000 - 60,000 words] [All graphics are made by @Exequinne]Complete

Their attraction was unmistakable, almost beyond control, but as much as she ached to be his, she feared the pressure of his demands. *** Submitting to each other meant they had to break so many rules. Could they? Would they? Their love was forbidden. Their intertwining past threatening to tear them apart. A bumpy ride. So many obstacles and trials.

"Look at me," he commands in a deep voice. I refuse. He commands again this time more cynical, "Look. at. me!" His voice booms off the walls, echoing in the room. I flinch at the tone but still refuse. Then suddenly, he roughly raised my chin. My eyes meet his cold blue ones. His eyes seem to soften for a moment then quickly return to their cold state. He muttered something under his breath that I didn't catch. He lets go of my chin and walks around, scanning me with his eyes. "What am I to do with you?" He mutters to himself. After a few moments, he is back in front of me. He smirks, "I will make you my personal chambermaid." CONTINUE THE STORY INSIDE...
