"Have you ever thought something bad? For how long? Have you ever thought something bad for only a second, sixty-one times? Have you ever needed to keep track?" 

Violet Wright is a wunderkind who doesn't always wonder kindly. At eighteen, she stands tall among the youngest -- and the most popular -- multi-millionaires in the world, having written a series of best-selling, award-winning post-apocalyptic novels, as well as their film adaptations. However, despite all of her achievements, she remains humbly pessimistic about her future, claiming that she'd "rather be surprised by a success than a failure." Even with such a mindset, all seems to be going her way . . . until, one day, by some magic, her worst thoughts are realized. Time remains fixed, but the world begins bending at her mind's will. Whether awake or asleep, thinking about something for more than a minute brings it into being. Only reasonable solutions are able to reverse the damage -- only if they're thought within a day of the prior realization, for more than a minute on their own. After a few days of cataloguing her thoughts (or attempting to), telling no one but her mother and trusted attorney, she meets a strange doctor who believes that she could help. Without a moment's consideration, she embarks on a journey to change the way that she thinks, vowing that she'll think the worst of herself if nothing changes after a week. Will it?

Elodie's life changes at the turn of a doorknob when she is forced into joining a secret organization that claims to be protecting the Earth from aliens. But with every step she takes, she finds the organization, or the facility, as they call it, becoming more and more suspicious. When a mysterious death occurs, revealing a well-concealed secret, things quickly go downhill as humanity's future is placed on the shoulders of a single gaggle of teenagers. *** I hear a sigh from the other side of the door, "Miss. Chaucer, you have a wonderful opportunity here, are you going to take it or not?" Now, I am seriously confused, "Opportunity?" She takes advantage of my befuddled state and shoves the door open. Shit. The corners of her mouth pull up, and it's so unnatural, it takes me a moment to realize she's smiling. Major plastic surgery? Probably. Click. Did she just lock the door? She locked the door! I spring towards the house phone, dusty from years of doing absolutely nothing, so I can call the police. I don't make it. Halfway there, I trip on my own pant-leg and face plant on the floor. The woman steps over me and retrieves the phone. She looks at it as if it's a foreign object, "This won't be necessary. All I want to do is talk to you." For some reason, instead of screaming, I stay silent. She smiles and pulls out a chair from the kitchen table for me to sit on. When I don't sit, she says, "If you want to know what's going on, then sit." I think about it for a moment. She hasn't hurt me yet, and I have to admit, I am quite curious as to what's going on. So, call me stupid, but I sit down. "I am from a space organization that protects civilians from . . . outside threats." *** Beautiful cover made by @mahana258!
