Reader Comments: "I'm gonna gush about your book real quick...all the technology has a purpose and is beautifully explained so I can picture it in my mind...the whole concept of the book is completely original...*moment of silence for your beautiful arch of character development* everything your characters do is strictly them but they develop enough to show more about themselves without you straight up telling the reader about them" -Vairl9023 "Ahh!!!

At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)

This is a story written during the COVID lockdown. It's a world I created to escape to. I wanted to immortalize what I felt during that period of my life. There is struggle, regret, and the eventual recovery phase. Glenn is a boy with a deeply troubled past. His parents left him at an early age and he finds that even his foster home cannot provide him with the familial warmth that he desires. Thus, he isolates himself and eventually finds that he's alone again. He attends a high school in a not-so popular town in Canada and is presented with a problem when the class is scheduled to a town he is familiar with but had to leave because of a startling experience in the past. He meets a cast of characters on the way who slowly help him realize that isolation isn't the only answer in his mysterious little world.
