This story , its characters, and stylistic choices (including nonlinear chapters design and character naming such as "Kairo") are original creations of Edward Juarez. Any similarities found elsewhere after this posting are coincidental or derivative.
I've crafted this story from my voice, my vision, and my time. If you're inspired by what I write, awesome.
But don't copy.
Thank you
In a Future where everyone receives a visit from their future self, one man has yet to receive his.
Alone in a world of clarity and second chances, he clings to the hope that one day his door will open too.
And he will soon learn:
The knock at the door isn't always your own.
At least...not in this time-line.
Because when things begin to loop-
Time begins to bleed.
Authors note:
This is my first completed Novella, and it means a lot to me.
"Timeline Forty-one" was born from a single image: a man waiting for something that never comes-until it does.
In the strangest possible way.
Thank you for reading.
If you felt something-follow and stick around for more. Final chapters coming before February.
New book announced In March

Someone Like Adam
"You know, it won't physically hurt you to be nice for once." I crossed my arms in front of my chest and groaned. "I don't want to take a chance." the corner of his lips lifted a little as he finished his sentence. "Well, you don't hear me complaining. The view of a someone so desperately working out is not a delight either." I retorted in a weary voice. "I bet it isn't." he narrowed his eyes at me and commented. Ugh.. Why is he so damn annoying? "You know what, just take your arrogant ass out of my room." I scowled at him, pointing towards the door. With small steps, he walked towards me. I took a step backwards when he neared me. He was invading my personal space, making me a bit flustered. The urge to push back his golden-brown hair covering his forehead was increasing with every passing second. "Gladly." he mumbled against my face and then walked past me out of my room. It took me a minute to calm down my racing heartbeat. ... He was a mystery, an enigma I wanted to solve. He was exhausting, he was infuriating, yet staying away from him was not an option. He was making me feel things I haven't felt before. Adam McArdle!

Starsnatcher - Trapped In An Alien World [COMPLETE]
Imagine you were trapped. Not on a deserted island, but lightyears away from Earth on a distant moon. Then you might be Lucas Anderson. It's the year 2037. Mankind has discovered two wormholes into foreign worlds; much to our misfortune. Near the isolated town of Ernstburgh, two college students have just disappeared, likely due to the beings that came through the wormholes. Seeking to escape his depressing day-to-day life, 20-year old Lucas Anderson decides to investigate the disappearances, only to become a victim himself, too. Once he wakes up on a distant moon, he knows he must get back to Earth. On his quest, he meets several aliens and eventually the two college students. Together, they embark on an interstellar adventure of galactic proportions, seeking to understand the truth behind what's going on. [-] New chapters will be released every Sunday, if possible.

Silent Partner
My world is four walls and a firewall. The name's Elias Vance. I hunt monsters, the kind in three-piece suits who break lives with keystrokes. I do it all from the one place I'm safe: my apartment. I don't do partners. I don't do outside. Not since my family was taken from me. Then he blew my door off its hinges. He calls himself Leo. A thief, all sharp grins and sharper reflexes, bleeding out on my pristine floor. He shoved a data-key into my hand, babbling about a shadowy syndicate called Janus and a hit on his life. He said he was sorry. He said they were coming for me, too. I didn't believe him. Until the professional cleaners showed up and turned my safe house into a warzone. Now, we're stuck with each other. The agoraphobic numbers-whisperer and the adrenaline-junkie thief. He thinks I'm a coward. I think he's a liability. But as we tear into Janus, we find something worse than stolen art or laundered cash. We find a project named "Chimera." And a chilling truth: the tragedy that broke me and the murder that forged him weren't accidents. They were acquisitions. They thought they were hunting us. They were wrong. We're the ghosts they created, and we're coming for our revenge. Even if trusting each other is the most dangerous heist of all. Two broken men. One shared enemy. No way out.Complete

Alienus
No one expected that it would happen until it did. Earth was dying. We, the few who survived the disease, were all contained in cells with artificial light and oxygen and food in the form of pills. So when help came in the form of C'Riel, an alien race that lived in a planet called Xe'Krein, many people found hope. But I was wary. Why would the C'Riel help us? How did we benefit them? What I didn't expect to happen was meeting him. The fire-eyed alien. My alien.

Static Crush {M/M} ✔
WATTY 2019 WINNER Hale, a state of the art android, can do nearly anything a human can. He cooks meals, cleans and organizes the house, repairs broken appliances, and runs errands. He can even provide for the more carnal needs of his owner. None of these tasks should present any challenge for Hale, and they don't-until he meets his next door neighbour, Rayner. Rayner seems like an unassuming gardener, but he asks Hale a lot of questions. Does Hale wish he could smell or taste food? What would he look like if his appearance hadn't been chosen for him? From the moment they meet, Hale runs into errors in otherwise simple tasks. He experiences bizarre sensations that none of his diagnostic tools can explain, and struggles to appease the people in his owner's social circle. As the errors in his programming begin to wear on his owner's patience, Hale faces the most difficult decision yet. If he can't evolve to meet her needs, he'll be returned and recycled into parts for future androids. If he does evolve, is he still just an android? Or something more? In all this, Rayner is the only man who can help him, and Rayner only has one question left for Hale. What does he want? Hale wasn't designed to want anything, but perhaps he can find the answer in the man with all the questions.
