"We’ve all had those nights where you close your eyes and the next thing you know your alarm is sounding. It seems as though time has passed in the blink of an eye. You wake with a jolt and a sense of disbelief. It clouds over the first few moments of your day as you struggle to make your brain understand. You “must have slept” you tell yourself, otherwise you would have been aware of the passing of time. The ticking of the clock. But what if you hadn’t slept. What if I told you that your time was disappearing? That it was being stolen." A short novel based fifty years in the future after the arrival of the mysterious creatures known as The Light. Nobody knows who they are or where they've come from but they're stealing our time and now they're stealing our people. Join the quest to find the truth behind the frozen moments, the horrors that lurk just out of reach and the depths that humanity is capable of when it believes in a life with no retributions.
