Arryn woke up in a plane crash. She doesn't know where she is or why she was even on a plane in the first place. But what she does know is that the island has a gate holding back terrifying monsters. This gate has a clock on it, a countdown, and every time someone dies the number goes down. They call it The Ticker. Not a problem, the people are learning to sustain themselves. But when a murderer begins picking off people one by one, Arryn begins to wonder about who made The Ticker, why a murder makes the number drop more than just a natural death, and what happens when The Ticker runs out.

Unwritten Endings || H.S
Two childhood friends, who were once inseparable, cross paths again after many years apart. But this time, their reunion is nothing like they imagined. One of them acts like they don't remember what friendship means or the pain of losing someone close. They've put up walls and seem distant. The other friend, on the other hand, has never forgotten their shared moments and still holds onto those memories, even though so much time has passed. When they meet again, it's obvious that things have changed a lot. The friend who seems to have forgotten everything is now caught up in a life full of secrets and dangers, and they have to keep their distance to protect themselves. The other friend can't figure out why things have turned out this way and is hurt by the fact that they can't go back to being close like they were before. There might be a deeper reason behind all of this-maybe there's some old grudge that one of them is holding onto, or perhaps someone has paid them off to stay away. Instead of bringing them back together, this reunion might just pull them further apart, tangled up in lies, mystery, and things they can't talk about. And something is bound to happen between them in the end-will everything go back to the way it was, or will things get so messed up that they end up as enemies?
