Eighteen-year-old Ari has been able to see timers ever since he was twelve. He doesn't know what they mean or why he can see them, but one thing is sure: something bad is bound to happen when it runs out. When the timers of both Ari and his bestfriend Ezra are close to running out, he starts to panic. In what way will it change their lives?

This is Wings's first ever book: a quick-paced, short LGBT one. It plays in the same universe, even in the same school, as some of their other books. Though it is not needed to read all of them in order to understand the seperate stories, there are some things that will make more sense.

When The Timer Hits Zero

I've successfully avoided Ezra for the rest of the day. Next week, we're free from school, so I don't have to see him anymore. Or, well, that's how it's supposed to be... Fate probably won't be that nice to me. I spend the rest of my Friday playing video games until I get a call. 


'Yo, Ari. We're gonna do a sleepover tomorrow! You wanna come?' Isaiah yells through the phone. Since I am always bored during vacations, I agree. 'Nice! Elijah, Ezra and I will see you tomorrow then.' He hangs up before I can answer. 


Well, there we go. No avoiding Ezra. I'm just glad they didn't invite anyone else; I don't want others to notice the problems between us. I won't be able to sleep tomorrow for sure, so I decide to go to bed early. 


I wake up at noon. Isaiah sent me a message that they expect me around 1 PM. I pack my bag, shower and eat some brunch. I kiss my dad goodbye before I walk out the door, right into what will probably be hell.
