LOVABLE heroines with a good heart.

Episode 1: The City Of Clocks (14 chapters)

Let yourself enjoy a story of friendship in a dangerous city of clocks!

"...next to the uniformed guard stood a large mechanical statue of a man, partly painted so that he looked nicely dressed. He grinned his metal grin, and his soulless eyes stared straight ahead. In his hands he held an enormous metal clock that was ticking loudly..."

In the world of Tempus everything is paid for with colored time cards. Food, shelter, even taking a shower requires precious minutes as payment. If you're late, the guards will kill you. But with barely any cards left herself, Luce decides to help a homeless little girl. And having a friend can make all the difference.

"'...Why are you crying?' asked Luce with a lump in her throat. 'Because it's so stupid...' sobbed the girl. 'All my life I've never had a friend. And now that my time is up, finally someone wants to be my friend.' She blew her nose on her sleeve, then used the same sleeve to wipe the tears from her eyes as best she could..."

Enjoy a character-driven story of adventure and friendship, in a world ruled by time and huge mechanical guards patrolling the streets. Where everything from eating a pot of steaming mussels to taking the streetcar works just a little differently than ours.
