The Vanishing Timer

In a world where life’s every second is dictated by a glowing timer etched into your wrist, Ezra has always known when his time will end. It’s a constant, reassuring presence—until one morning, he wakes up to find his timer has vanished. Not just his. Every person around him—friends, strangers, even the elderly—are without their timers. The invisible thread that bound their lives together has snapped, and no one knows why. As Ezra scrambles to understand the sudden disappearance, he uncovers a truth far darker than he could have imagined: the timers weren’t just there to mark time—they were part of something much bigger. Something that controlled them all. And now that control is slipping. When a quiet, observant girl named Mia shows up with her own theories, Ezra realizes that they might be the only ones who can uncover what’s behind the vanishing timers—and the terrifying consequences that await if they don’t. As they dig deeper, the world around them begins to unravel, revealing secrets that could change everything. In a society where time is literally the essence of life, losing it could mean losing everything.
