Story: noun. an account of imaginary or real people and events told for entertainment, told in multiple points of view from one two tenses, past and present. Storyteller: noun. an esteemed group of people born with the ability to Hear Stories, whose main job is to Listen and to record what they Hear. Those lucky enough to have the gift of Hearing Stories are sent to a special school and taught how to stay true to the story. Those who make it are called Storytellers, the only ones allowed to write and publish creative media. Everybody, even non-Storytellers, know there are only two tenses, past and present. Behind the scenes, though, the Head Editors - coveted government positions in charge of the entire Storyteller sector - have a secret problem: a small group of supposed Storytellers have been writing stories in a third tense, breaking every known law about Storytelling. Who are these people? What do they want? And, more importantly, why have their future tense stories been coming true? ~~~~~~~ An experimental epistolary, somewhat meta, fiction novel exploring the concept of a third tense - future tense. This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, business, events, and incidents are the products of the author's (that's me!) imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental.

What happens when you try to tell your story, but no one is willing to listen to you? You run. Thousands of years before, the cataclysm destroyed the world. In a barrage of miniature apocalypses manufactured by the most powerful government in the world, the moon was torn apart, ice sheets expanded from the north, entire communities were systematically poisoned, the rainforests were burned. Thousands of years before that, magical stones with the ability to protect life were created and scattered throughout civilization. Now, Pana and their friend, the timid yet trustworthy dragon Waveskimmer, find one of those stones. Pana has only ever known the frozen northern village they were born in, but when they are forced to flee their home after an unfortunate misunderstanding, they discover that the world is bigger than they could have imagined, and that there are other pockets of survivors out there who are all facing their own hardships. Together with Waveskimmer, they begin traveling the world, meet new people, and try their best to undo the mistakes of the past. But when their own past catches up with them, the fate of the world is thrown into jeopardy once more.
