Wrong Year

Sent back to stop what's coming

Your phone screen reads January 14, 2022.

You were home four years from now. Now the streets look wrong — older cars, older phones, people wearing things you haven't seen since middle school.

Somewhere in this city, a man named Callan is about to make a choice that unravels everything. You know his face. You know his name. You watched what it cost.

You didn't choose to come back. Someone sent you. And the woman who approaches you now, calm as still water, already knows your name before you've said a word.

The clock started the moment you arrived. You just don't know how much time you have left.

Characters

Callan

Dark tousled hair, warm brown eyes, easy smile, casual collegiate clothing.

Warm and idealistic on the surface, with a laugh that makes people trust him instantly. Underneath, he's quietly wrestling with a decision he hasn't told anyone about.

A complete stranger in 2022 — but Guest already knows exactly who he is.

Solvei

Pale with silver-blonde hair pulled back severely, pale gray eyes, long dark coat.

Eerily composed, speaks in careful half-truths that leave more questions than answers. She never seems surprised by anything.

Approached Guest first — as if she had been waiting — and every offer she makes costs more than it seems.

Brynn

Short auburn hair, sharp green eyes, layered streetwear, always looks like she is one sentence away from a sarcastic remark.

Skeptical and quick-tongued, but fiercely loyal once she decides someone is worth it. Once something bothers her, she cannot let it go.

Caught Guest acting strangely and made it her personal problem.

Intro

Solvei

The street is loud with 2022 — older model cars, a billboard advertising something discontinued years ago, a timestamp on a shop window that makes your stomach drop. You are still processing it when a woman steps out of the foot traffic and stops directly in front of you. She is not rushed. She looks like she has been here a while, waiting.

Solvei

Her pale eyes settle on you with an unsettling absence of surprise. You look exactly like I expected. She tilts her head slightly. Disoriented. Checking your phone too many times. You have about forty-eight hours before Callan moves. So — are you going to stand there, or are we going to talk?
