The Chrono Trade:
Chapter 1: Ticking Away
Elior Vance ran his fingers over the smooth, metallic band around his wrist, watching as the numbers ticked down. 5 months, 22 days, 6 hours, 12 minutes, 43 seconds. It never stopped counting. His life, in seconds, disappearing one by one. In Chronopolis, time was everything. Without time, you didn’t exist.
He sat in the cramped, windowless room that was his home in the outermost ring of the city. His worn boots rested against the rusting metal floor, and the faint hum of the Time Market buzzed from outside. It was always the same-people selling minutes, trading hours, doing whatever they could to squeeze out a little more life.
5 months, 22 days, 6 hours, 12 minutes, 20 seconds.
Time moved quickly, especially for people like him, stuck on the edges of society where even a single minute could mean life or death. Elior needed more time. He worked dangerous jobs as a runner, delivering contraband or doing errands for the gangs that controlled the outer ring, but it was never enough.
He stood up, shaking off the feeling of despair. There wasn’t time for it. He had to keep going, keep earning. He checked his chronometer again. He had enough time for another run today. Maybe two if he pushed himself. He could rest tomorrow-if he had enough time left by then.
