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 am confused. He called her Ari? So what? She looks a lot like me. Like, we could even be twins. Ezra spent a lot of time with me, especially the last few days. It's not that surprising that he accidently called her Ari. I mean, I sometimes call Elijah 'Isaiah' too. Or Isaiah 'Elijah'. 


However, my cousin is crying, so Ezra must've really hurt her. I decide to call him. 'Ezya. You made her cry?' I ask, a little bit of anger shining through my calm voice. 


'Ari... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. What did she tell you?' he sighs. He sounds sad. 


'She said you called her by my name instead.' I blush a bit. 


'Is that all?' he asks, a bit surprised. 


'Is there more to it?' I answer with a question. He clears his throat. Silence. 


'You haven't answered all my questions either,' he argues. 'You don't want to tell me things. I don't want to tell you things. If she didn't tell you, it's not important.'
