With a throbbing heart and paining legs, Nandini hears some words in a hushed voice. She could relax that she was fast enough to escape. The vision she had in her eyes appeared to be true. In the mid of the jungle, she had absolutely no idea where to go and what to do. But this question didn't plague her for long. She fell unconscious in between all those trees and in between the snow. It was difficult to find out whether she escaped her death or herself brought the time of her death. But one thing was clear, she escaped from their hold to be caught in their shell. 
**************

Caught in the year 2050, the world progressed a lot. The scientists tried to create new creatures and those creatures started to exist beside the humans. Scientists were needed more than authors, business leaders, or they were even more important than presidents of any country. 

Each new thing has been used for good things and each new thing has been used for selfish motives, that too since centuries. Then how could the most precious Science be spared? 

Nandini Murty, a young aspiring girl sees her misusage in the eye of a mirror. The science took advantage of her even when she's a normal girl, an author who gets inspired by old fairytales. 

But did the eye exist or was it just a stupid hallucination of Nandini based on her fantasy? If it was real, is it possible for her to escape the death she saw or is she going to die from the hands of science? There are many questions with one answer: TIME. The time decides whether Nandini saw the truth or her mind hallucinated getting influenced by fairy tale stories.

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!
