Fractured

By Alex Williams

"You think time is something you can control, but it's like trying to hold water in your hands. It slips through your fingers, no matter how hard you try."

Dr. Elliot Cade, a brilliant yet misunderstood scientist, creates a time capsule designed to manipulate time itself, hoping to unlock its mysteries. But his invention unleashes a catastrophic fracture in the fabric of reality, throwing him and his colleague, Claire, into a world where time itself is no longer fixed. As they struggle to understand the consequences of their actions, they encounter terrifying anomalies, giant creatures from lost epochs, and a mysterious, shadowy figure that seems to be the personification of the temporal rift they've caused.

Desperate to undo the damage, Elliot and Claire embark on a perilous journey to return to the pivotal moment of their experiment, only to find that every attempt to fix the timeline only makes it worse. As the time capsule threatens to collapse and reality unravels, they realize the only way to restore balance is to let go of their obsession with controlling time. In a desperate final act, their actions restore semblance of normalcy, but not without sacrifice.

In this thrilling, mind-bending tale, Fractured explores the complexities of time, the cost of obsession, and the delicate balance between control and surrender. As Elliot and Claire face the consequences of their reckless ambition, they learn that true power lies not in bending time to their will, but in accepting what it has in store. Will they survive the unraveling of time-or will they become lost to its endless currents? Is the monster that haunts them of their own creation; is its meaning a creation of their meddling with time or, a complex figment of the imagination as the recurring themes of Fractured remind them what is to be lost from their adventures.
