I Read Stories: The Shape Of Time by Vrinda Balinga

 

The Shape Of Time by Vrinda Baliga in Tasavvur

In Time every country calls itself Now; on one side is Before, on the other After. This didn’t used to matter, as there were gigantic walls, Borders between them. But now there has been a Breakthrough.

They intend to mine other countries for rare-moment elements. But they’re concerned that there might be more advanced countries After could be a threat. And of course the Gods at the start of time deep in the Before.

After the debacle at the strategy meeting Safeguard Yug is sent with the Chrono transmitter with the expeditionary force to After. But it doesn’t work and they re out of touch and things are not what they seem – or perhaps they are exactly as they seem.
