The Clockmaker’s Legacy
What If You Could Rewrite the Past—But at What Cost?
In a sleepy seaside town, an enigmatic clockmaker named Elias has quietly repaired timepieces for over 50 years. But Elias isn’t just a skilled craftsman; his clocks hold a mysterious power—they can turn back time, but only once, and only by the person who owns the clock.
When the town begins to face an inexplicable series of disasters, the locals start to suspect that Elias’s clocks are somehow involved. Meanwhile, a young journalist, Mia, arrives in town to investigate Elias’s past after hearing rumors about the clockmaker's "magic." She discovers a connection between Elias and a tragic event that occurred decades ago—the death of his daughter, which seems to have sparked his obsession with controlling time.
As Mia unravels the mystery, she finds herself tempted to use one of Elias’s clocks to fix a mistake from her own past. But every choice comes with a cost, and the more she learns, the more she realizes that the clockmaker’s gift may be a curse that binds him—and his customers—in ways they never anticipated.

The Blue Ridge Stalker
Tom had left the Ford down the way, its spark plugs finally exhausted and no mechanics for a dozen miles back through the foothills to Strossburg. No matter, he had worn his boots—almost as if he planned for this to happen. The puzzle he sought to solve emanated from the woods clinging to the slopes above; the valley behind held no mysteries.
