Catherine hasn't spoken to anyone about the nightmares she's been having for over twenty years; but she suspects they may be related to the thirteen hours she went missing in the woods behind her house when she was seven- thirteen hours she has no memory of. The sudden reappearance of the violent nightmares after her twenty-seventh birthday bring her to the office of psychiatrist Jean Pascal. Catherine brings her desperate plight to Dr. Pascal, hoping to bring an end to the nightmares before they put an end to her. She has to outrun the wolves. (So, this was supposed to be an entry in the #NancyDrew writing contest; but I, like a fool, misread the instructions. I thought it had to be 2,000 words. Turns out, it had to be 2,000 characters. Yeesh. I'll still try and edit it down to meet the requirements, but since I have the words anyway, I might as well use them! Obviously, this is part of a larger story; I'll post more as I write it. I hope you enjoy it!) XOXO- Lily

"I wish...time would just stop." Sleeping has always been Xandra's getaway, but an impending vacation back to her hometown forces her to fully succumb into her mind. She has just been exhausted, working to the bone. And all she really wants is for time to stop, to let her rest for a while. Until time starts to rewound. Inside her treacherous mind, she meets a boy that introduced himself as a keeper of time. Time has stopped, he says. But when she wakes up why is it that time feels like it's running ever faster? The boy too, was a familiar mystery. There's a constant something ticking at the back of Xandra's head, always present, never revealing itself. She knows who the boy was in her past, yet she doesn't. He tells her not to worry, but in her muddled mind she knows. If she had been eleven years younger, she wouldn't have noticed it. The strange locks of hair, the blood under the trees, the house that crumbled around the edges. And she remembers. Time hasn't stopped. It has been rewound. And she needs to save the keeper of time. Miyo. Manasseh. Her friend. But could she save someone who's already dead? *** AMAZING COVER BY: @-bellawrites Psychological drama TW: mentions of suicide, abuse, trauma.
