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'm tired,' Elijah yawns. 'You guys can share a bed, right? We only have one spare..' 


'I'll take the couch,' Ezra offers. It surprises me. 


'What? We thought you were used to sleeping together,' Isaiah frowns. 


'If anything, Ari should be the one sleeping on the couch,' the other adds teasingly. 


Ezra sighs and then nods. 'Whatever. Forget it.' 


The duo puts their thumbs up towards me, making me frown. Then, they lead us to the guest room. 'Well, we're going to our bedroom. It's the door next to yours, if you need anything.' 


Ezra changes clothes in the bathroom while I change clothes in the bedroom. I immediately feel more comfortable. Do girls really like skirts? Sure, they look nice, but it gets tiring quickly... 


'Can we come in?' A soft voice interrupts my train of thoughts. 


'Yeah, sure,' I answer, watching the duo walk in. 


'Think we can talk real quick?' The green haired boy looks serious.
