Every night at exactly 1:13 AM, time stops in Greyline. No sound. No movement. No escape.
For Sora Lin - a deadbeat musician with a dead brother and a notebook full of unreleased songs - the Static Hour is a gift. A space to breathe. To record. To control something when nothing else in life makes sense.
But then she sees someone mouthing her lyrics.
Someone who shouldn't know them.
Someone who looks... exactly like her.
As the city unravels under serial murders, glitched timelines, and ghosts that don't know they're ghosts, Sora is forced to confront the unthinkable:
What if she's the anomaly?
What if the Static was never meant for her?
And what if the only person who can stop it... is her?

The Fear of Yesterday
Robin Greyson's personal essay exposes a secret government plot with corporate and magical ties. This retelling of his own past takes place during his childhood, when he is abducted and taken to Soma, a tropical island shrouded in mystery. To the rest of Vafrian society, Soma is a big, open secret. Everyone is aware that the government controls every aspect of the island. Not many are allowed to go in or come out. Nobody questions it; that's just how things have been for the past century. No civilians know about the eldritch disasters taking place on Soma, or what creatures might be lurking all over it. All Robin and his friend Marina know, however, is that they will both meet their parents for the first time on Soma. Their shared wish comes true, but it doesn't last. The kids are separated from their parents during a cataclysmic storm. Robin and Marina wake up surrounded by strangers in a building just underneath the island's surface. Among them are three other kids and one adult. They are forced to participate in a series of anticlimactic puzzle games, of which there can only be one winner. They make a deal with the oldest player, Chuck, who promises to make contact with a friend from the surface once he escapes. If Chuck doesn't keep his word, Robin, Marina, and their new allies will be sent to Purgatory---a labyrinth teeming with zombie-like creatures. *** a/n: this is book 1 of the Tomorrow's Message series. 1.

ᴛɪᴍᴇ ᴀғᴛᴇʀ ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ x ᴡᴀʟʟʏ ᴄʟᴀʀᴋ (sᴄʜᴏᴏʟ sᴘɪʀɪᴛs) ғᴀɴғɪᴄ
Margaret "Mack" Mora has always been good at keeping her distance. Quiet, sharp, and invisible by choice, she doesn't do school spirit, football games, or golden boys with easy smiles. But when she's assigned to tutor Wally Clark-the injured quarterback trying to catch up in class-her carefully built walls start to crack. Wally is nothing like she expected: thoughtful, funny, frustratingly sincere. Against all odds, they click. And just when Mack begins to let herself feel something real, everything falls apart. On the night of the homecoming game, Wally dies. Then Mack wakes up-and it's homecoming day all over again. No matter what she tries-keeping Wally home, warning him, running away-the day resets every time she falls asleep. And Wally always dies. Trapped in a time loop no one else seems to notice, Mack is forced to relive the day she loses him, again and again. But as she searches for a way to break the loop, Mack starts to realize the day isn't just about Wally's death-it's about their connection, the pieces of him she's only beginning to understand, and the parts of herself she's never dared to show. Because if love can't stop the clock... maybe it can teach her how to truly live.

You can't hear sound at 18.98 hertz, but your body feels it, and when it does, some believe you've opened yourself to the world of the supernatural. Liv used to believe the ghost frequency was real, and so did her friend, Helina. While Liv came to shun this notion, Helina went in the opposite direction, becoming obsessed with using the ghost frequency to access a paranormal plane of existence. Now, Helina has gone missing, and her brother, Graham is convinced the ghost frequency has something to do with it... and Liv is the only one who can find her. Liv agrees to help Graham search for his sister, but she brings with her memories of a fraught relationship and a great and unforgiveable harm done-a harm so deeply scarring, she's willing to do something terrible to gain revenge, even if it means losing Helina, and even herself, forever.Complete
