Time Waits

Norman Booler is a weird kid, a loner. So why is everyone after him?
A pitted chunk of metal gives Norman a peculiar knack—it lets him see things before they happen, as though time waits for the universe to catch up.

Ruthless gangs learn of Norman’s neat trick and want it. But Norman’s uncanny gift is not that simple. His ability hinges on an imagined being now edging into the kid’s reality.

Norman confronts an awful choice; surrender to this demonic lord or watch his only friend die.
While Norman clasps his mysterious metal blade, time awaits his every move.
