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

Today is the day of my first ever date with Ezra as a lover. It's exciting and nerve-racking. I have carefully picked my outfit yesterday, though it is not that different from what I normally wear. I also got up an hour earlier than normal, just to fluff up my hair. Not that it helps; I still have to go to school first. 


It's almost stupid what I'm doing just for this date. Ezra has known me for such a long time; I don't think he would care much. And I won't be surprised if he shows up looking the same as always, honestly. That doesn't matter, though. He's handsome when he's looking casual. 


I head to school with my heart beating fast, yearning to see my... best friend? Date? I don't know. I have cancelled all after-school activities for today, because both me and the vice-president won't be there.
