Unreal Time

Time-loop traps mutant marsupials and cyber-teen renegades-the future will never be the same again. Things are tough for Deon since he moved from the city to Morans Cove. He doesnt surf and he hasnt figured out how to fit in. Deons calculated he has 517 more days until he graduates and is done with the bullies at his new high school. Or maybe hell get lucky and be kidnapped by aliens. One afternoon while Deons out for a run after school something much freakier happens. Hes dragged into a swirling static vortex. The air crackles around him hes to the ground and everythings in darkness. Hes surrounded by weird androids who are chanting his uncles name. His world tilts again pulling him back through the static storm and the suns shining. Is he going nuts? Then his uncle disappears and the only clue about what might have happened is another glowing crackling vortex this time in the backyard behind Uncle Niftys deserted house. Deon dives through the shrinking portal. Hes surrounded by the crushing static. It feels like he falls forever. When he finally hits the ground he has been transported into a strange and ruined future. Everything is gone his uncles house the town everything around him is devastated and flooded. He hears a cry in the distance and searches frantically for is uncle. All he finds is a broken pencil he uncles pencil pointing in the direction of the far off voices. Running through the swampy remains of Morans Cove Deon tries to make sense of what could have happened. Could he somehow be in the future? Maybe he is going nuts? He finds more markers and runs on searching into the dense rainforest surrounding his ruined town. Suddenly he is cornered by tree-climbing mutant marsupial creatures that growl creeping closer until Deon is trapped between a rock ledge and their gnashing teeth. There seems to be no escape from the frightening weirdness and then the humans drop out of the trees wearing shining exoskeletons some fly down on massive powered wings and the weirdness ramps up. Lucky for Deon these are the good guys and he is invited to team up with this group of environmental cyber-rebels. He fights alongside them and their mutant marsupial guard-pets to help free some of the missing team members and then together they search to recover Deons uncle. In this bizarre and dangerous future Deon sees the fate of Earth the environmental destruction that changed his world forever. He meets a strange new thinking machine that is working to repair the world and he discovers shocking secrets about his own fate and what awaits him when he returns to his own time to face in his own impossible to believe future.
