Finley Clay is fifteen years old, and stuck in a world where there are no rules but to survive. Stalking the empty streets are mutilated humans - known as Infected - who've survived the outbreak of a deadly disease. In a word rife with danger and sickness, there aren't many reasons to stay alive. 

Finn's life is looking bleaker by the second until a girl his age - Addison Bishop - makes an unexpected appearance. 

This girl could be the key to everything, but in a world where you can't trust anyone but yourself, nothing is ever as it seems.

At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)
