The longest time ever known to the Namru people and also its shortest was just one week. No more, no less. Whatever has happened will be forgotten unless recorded and a new beginning enters just after every one week. People living in the remote village of Namru are well adapted and no one bothered to complain. Some called this unusual phenomenon a curse but the rest remained ignorant. 

Yet, a young girl named Youtso (meaning turquoise-lake) was different, special and unique. Even though her time limit was just like the rest of the others. Never did she expected that just a mere single question raised in her head one day would compel her to take on a journey, no one could ever imagine . The horror of reality and its uncertainty will eventually cast her to make difficult decisions. Some sacrifices were made for the keepsake of a dark secret. Followed by mystical encounters and the test of perseverance to challenges of all kinds, adventure, thrill and love.

*Dear reader,
This is my first story making. Although I'm not a professional on this field, lately, it has become my new interest. I thought that since I love story telling and listening to them, why not try writing one? So I hope you guys will enjoy it and have a good time. Kindly bear with me if there were any grammatical mistakes and typing error. I'll also try my level best not to create such fault. 
Best wishes,
HOPE

Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home!
