When Time Stops Ticking — M.R. Miller

As children, they were told the sun would set at night and rise in the morning, but as the dark one, Oscuro, grew in strength, they learned that this was a lie. Oscuro has taken over and they are all trapped. The sun has set for good and no one can save them unless they are able to find the Sol'eta. Without the Sol'eta there's no running from the darkness and the monsters within. Nonetheless, they light fires surrounding their camps. It keeps the creatures that dwell in the dark, the Astibos, at bay. Unfortunately, it will not last long, for the Astibos are getting closer and closer. Oscuro was at one time a kind man, but he has always been deceitful, and his trickery has doomed the whole of the land. He has grown stronger and no one can stop him. Oscuro has sent the land into eternal darkness and not even he can control it any longer. Without the Sol'eta everyone will perish.
