Project Elaries (ON-GOING)

In a future where existence is a loan, a government agency decides who is allowed to be born based on their potential to work and make money. Aris is a Collector, a man who travels through time to harvest wasted moments from people who are not being productive enough to pay back the cost of their lives.

Aris is sent 30 years into the future to find Elara, a woman labeled as a high-priority failure. His mission is to foreclose on her life.

However, when he arrives, he finds a world transformed into a silent wilderness. Humans have abandoned cities and work to live in a state of constant, peaceful wonder.

He discovers that Elara has found a way to bankrupt the system. She realized that moments of pure happiness like watching a sunset cannot be tracked or owned by the government. This Awe Virus is spreading, and it threatens to destroy the economy of time.
