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 sit there in a daze, watching my crush kiss someone else. I can't take my eyes off of them. Tears start forming in the corner of my eyes and I can feel myself starting to tremble slightly. 


Elijah places his hand on my shoulder and pulls me back, forcing me to look at him and his boyfriend. 'Shit. Shit!' he curses in his normal voice. He grabs both my and Isaiah's hand and we run out of the café, Ezra's confused gaze following us until we're out of sight. 


'Dammit!' Isaiah kicks a trash can while Elijah is trying to comfort me. I'm crying like an actual school girl now, heartbroken. 


'Let's head home, change clothes and visit a bar. We need some drinks,' the brown haired boy says. 


I'm just about to agree when I hear an angry voice echoing through the alley we're standing in. 'What are you three doing?!' Ezra screams at us. 


I quickly hide my face, trying to silence in my sobs.
