Emerson Watt was never a "normal kid." Since they were 4 years old they had been kept in the hospital due to an undiagnoseable medical condition. After years of research and tests. The doctors never come closer to discovering or helping Emerson. Everyday played out the same. The same TV channels. The same single nurse visiting at the same time. Everyday. At 9, 12, 3, 6, and 9. Like clockwork. 9, 12, 3, 6, and 9. Until August 24, 2058. 3 o'clock comes around... then 3:10.... then 3:15...

Author's Note
Lucy Calderwood writes books. She loves reading, she loves writing, she loves fiction more than reality. Getting lost in books is what she does best. Though when she's asked to write a novel for her college course, such a thing happens literally. At night, when she goes to sleep, she wakes in the world of her own creation - in the book that she herself is writing, thus resulting in adventures she thought impossible, friendships she thought unreasonable, and an emotional rollercoaster she doesn't know how to deal with. To survive, she must fight. Fight what the world has become, fight what she has made, fight furious beasts of incredible sizes, alongside Thomas, Keith, and Katherine, all three being her own book characters. And if she's hurt, injured in her book, then it happens in reality. But what if she were to die?Complete
