circa - (n.) from Latin, meaning "around, about", usually abbreviated c., ca or ca. (also circ. or cca.), means "approximately" in several European languages including English, usually in reference to a date.

When seventeen-year-old Fin Orseno meets a fellow seventen-year-old named Alex, or so he's been told, he ignores her claim of being able to literally pause her life amidst the world, heal from any kind of injury or sickness in a matter of seconds and of having been living in the woods ever since. That is until Alex proves herself, and now, the boy who skips class has to keep the girl who skips time a secret until she fixes the glitch with her ability. Unfortunately, that'd be pretty hard to do now, with everybody at school witnessing her fall from the Eastman High bell tower, not to mention the major fracture on her left arm. 

Just how far can they fake a broken arm while they discover a quest they must take on, a quest in which life and death depends.

Chuck Colt, a cowardly and highly neurotic ghost, must find a way to reunite his soul to his newly zombified body before dawn, lest his (un)death becomes permanent. ***** When Chuck Colt, a neurotic Movie Critic, inexplicably sees his own corpse hanging from a ceiling fan, he comes to the sudden realization that he is somehow a ghost. To make matters worse, his body seems to be moving on its own, and it doesn't like to follow Chuck's instructions. Now, both Ghost and Zombie Chuck must work together in order to find a cure for their undead curse before sundown, lest they get stuck like that for eternity - if one of the city's weird assortment of characters doesn't get to them first. The pair must comb through the magical city of New Orleans, facing multiple obstacles along the way - including but not limited to: werepugs, suicidal vampires, and trigger-happy priests - but the biggest obstacle they face is time. Can Chuck Colt beat the clock to be whole again, or will the Big Easy prove to be too hard to handle? For what is Tragedy, but Comedy - Time? TW: Mentions of self-harm, suicide.
